Bagnaia: ‘I’ll think about the championship’, 48 points ‘too much’ - Bastianini Full story 👉 MotoGP AragonGP
His first victory since Le Mans has also put the Gresini Ducati rider second on the highest wins of 2022 list behind Bagnaia,Describing the battle with Bagnaia, Bastianini said:"Another good battle like in Misano. My start of the race was difficult because when Aleix [Espargaro] passed me I went a little bit wide and lost some positions compared to my position at the start.
"But on lap number nine I was back on top but I made an error in turn 10 and I went outside [the track]. "I thought ‘I have to stay calm’ and close the gap again to Pecco [Bagnaia], who was really fast like in Misano. "He didn’t make any errors like in Misano but [this time] on the last lap I was closer. It’s amazing for me to be back on the top."But despite the sensational victory, Bastianini believes his 48 point deficit is too much to close with only five races to go.
"Pecco [Bagnaia], and the other Ducati riders, are so fast, but Pecco has his strongest points like me, we're riding the same bikes and to overtake him is really difficult but this time I won," added Bastianini.
