gp-australia-race-motorcycle Rins wins over Marquez and Bagnaia. Italian is a world leader – Corriere.it

Alex Rins on Suzuki won the Australian Grand Prix MotoGp class. Third Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia who thus rises to the top of the World Championship, also taking advantage of the fall of his rival for the title Fabio Quartararo. On the podium, in second place, also the Honda of Marc Marquez.

Two races from the end of the MotoGP season, therefore, Francesco Bagnaia on Ducati the new world leader with 14 points ahead of Fabio Quartararo, who crashed 17 laps from the end while looking for a comeback from the rear after a long race at the start of the GP. In third position Aleix Espargaro with 27 points behind, today ninth with Aprilia in the Australian GP. Fourth at Philip Island Marco Bezzecchi on an unofficial Ducati, also named rookie of the year. Quinto Enea Bastianini always on an unofficial Ducati.

Sincerely I had some difficulties, but in any case the start was very good. I tried to overtake, and then I saw from the pit wall that Fabio (Quartararo, ed) was out, so I told myself to go and win, which would be cool. Francesco Bagnaia bursting with joy from all pores after the Australian GP which, thanks to the third place and the simultaneous fall of Quartararo, took him to the top of the MotoGP World Championship. It did not go like this – adds Bagnaia – but there is no problem. I had to manage the last laps to make sure no one overtake me, but that’s okay. I’m happy, I’m leading the championship and that’s okay.
