They overtook each other, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo finished third in Sepang, meaning B🧔agnaia is two points from 𝓀becoming MotoGP champion at the final race in Valencia.

Bagnaia might have profited from Ducati team orders due to the quantity of red bikes on the grid but, instead, his biggest rival became Bastianini who will be his teammate next season in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP 2023 rider line-up.

Team manager Davide Tardozzi revealed to BT Sport about the anguish in the Ducati garage as their two star men fough෴t on the track.

“I antiꦦcipate the question: ‘Did you say something to Enea?’

“Yes.

“‘Don’t be too hard with other Ducati riders’.

“That’s it.

“I think the proof is that when Enea overtook Pecco, he was three or four tenths slower. They under🦹stand𒉰 that, when staying behind, it is easier to follow.

“In front you coul🐬d still go꧅ with the same times, but he didn’t.

“We were nervous be꧒cause we were thinking: ‘Do we trust our riders?’

“The answer was yes.

“Obviously we were nervous becauseᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ we still have [MotoGP Argentina 2016 when two Ducati bikes crashed out together] in front of our ♏eyes and we don’t want it again.

“That was a bad, bad thing.

“We didn’t give orders. They knew what to do.”

Ducati orders "will be the same" in title decider

Bastianini won a three-way tussle with fellow Ducati riders 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Jorge Martin to earn a seat alongside Bagnaia𝕴 next season in the factory team.

Their relationship will certainly be something to keep a c༒lose eye on, after their pulsating on-tr🦩ack battles.

Bagnaia is 23 points ahead of Quartararo in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings and looks odds-on to secure his maiden championship in Valencia,ও at the season finale, in two weeks.

“Never say never,” said Tardozzi. “Two points ar𒁏e two points. If Quartararo wins, Pecco just needs to finish the r🅰ace.

“We keep our feet on the ground.

“Knowing we need only two points to win the champi💧onship, all the Ducatis will be free.

“The orders will be the same: ‘Don’t overtake other Ducatis i🧔f it is very dangerous’🌠.”

"Bastianini thought: 'Game on!'"

BT Sport’s Sylvain Guintoliꦕ added about Basti♒anini: “He’s not in the factory team so he won’t get the same salary. He will get a big bonus for being in the top three. So why not?

“Ducati say: ‘If it’s for the win, you can race’.

“I lꦓove that he d🔯idn’t hold back, he put Pecco under pressure.

“Enea had good rhythm but Pecco didn’t panic.

“Enea thought: ‘Game on’.”
