Pecco Bagnaia won the Dutch MotoGP GP, and joined Casey Stoner in a special ranking. Here’s which one.
The MotoGP Dutch Grand Prix saw Pecco Bagnaia to get a full load of championship points, having won both the Sprint Race and the Sunday race. Just like it happened a month ago at Mugello, The world champion took home all 37 available pointsgoing to bat Jorge Martinwhich maintains only a 10-length margin in the world championship standings.
The pace set by the MotoGP champion was nothing short of unsustainable, in what was one of the most dominated races of Bagnaia’s career. Ducati has confirmed itself to be in another categorybut it must be said that when this guy doesn’t make mistakes and finds the perfect feeling, beating him is completely impossible.
Martin, who will run the second part of the season separated at home, considering that he will go to Apriliawill have to make a historic feat to think he can keep this championship open. With the success in Assen, Pecco also wrote a page of Ducati historyachieving a dream result, which equates it to Casey Stoner. Let’s find out everything about this undertaking.
MotoGP, Bagnaia has reached Stoner
MotoGP always offers surprises and legendary achievements, and in Assen, it was Pecco Bagnaia to write a page of history. The Turin rider has reached Casey Stoner at 23 victories in Ducatiwhich means he has caught up with the Australian as the most successful rider for the Borgo Panigale manufacturer.
This is, obviously, a historic achievement, although it is right to underline the necessary differences between the successes of Bagnaia and Stoner. Nowadays, without wanting to take anything away from the MotoGP champion, Ducati is a real torpedo, while from 2007 to 2010, the performances were not the sameand only the Southporth native was able to make it go fast, until he won the world title.
Certainly, Bagnaia will have the opportunity to become the most successful ever from next Sunday, when it will be raced in Germany, on the Sachsenring track. Last year, he was beaten at the last by Jorge Martin, but on this occasion, he will be able to take advantage of getting back to the front in the world championship. We expect a great fight between these champions, which allow us to have fun every Sunday, with new pages of history ready to be written.
