For anyone who still had doubts about the fairness of Ducati's handling of the confrontation between Martìn and Bagnaia in this season finale, what happened today at Phillip Island should make it perfectly clear. Pecco tried to limit the damage, try to stem the deficit from Martìn, who in the Sprint was simply unbeatable. But behind him Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini had no qualms when they caught up and then passed him on the same lap.
In Ducati they have said it loud and clear that there will be no help for any of the riders in contention for the title and today we had yet more proof of that. Bagnaia and Martìn are playing for the title on equal terms, and so are Marquez and Bastianini for the third step of the rainbow podium. These are the images of the double overtaking suffered by Bagnaia by Sky Sport MotoGP.
