The Ducati rider’s championship win was confirmed when his sole rival, Jorge Martin, crashed early in the race. Unaware of the incident, Bagnaia maintained his lead, while Martin’s Ducati-Pramac collided with Marc Marquez’s Honda, causing both riders to crash.
Despite a close call when Martin clipped his bike on the second lap, Bagnaia recovered and eventually clinched the title as his rival faced further troubles, dropping to eighth place.
