He Spanish rider Jorge Martín, with Ducati, took victory that Sunday in the Indonesian Grand Prix and gained a good lead in the MotoGP championship with only five rounds left. The podium was completed by the Spanish Pedro Acosta (KTM) and the Italian Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati).
Martín, who races with the Ducati of the Prima Pramac Racing team, obtained his third victory in the championship (he had already won the main race in Portugal and France) in a race where he dominated from start to finish.
This great victory allowed him to recover after the fall this Saturday that did not allow him to score points in the Sprint race.which had also been left in the hands of his second in the championship, Bagnaia.
The race was also marked by the abandonments of the Italian Enea Bastianini, who crashed with only seven laps remaining when he was third.and from the Spanish and six-time champion of the category, Marc Márquez, who had engine problems. In any case, they remain third and fourth in the championship, respectively.
Despite not having won so many races this season, Martín’s 21-point lead in the championship is justified by the fact that he was on the podium in 11 of the 15 races that were held and in 12 of the 15 Sprints..
Martín is looking for his first world title in Moto GPa category in which it is participating for the fourth season. His best result in the championship was in 2023, when he finished second behind Bagnaia, who was also crowned in 2022.
