Bagnaia Emerges Victorious at MotoGP Mandalika

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Francesco Bagnaia claimed victory at Grand Prix MotoGP Mandalika on Sunday, October 15, 2023. Starting the position at 13, Bagnaia managed to take the lead in the race at Mandalika Circuit.

Bagnaia's victory proves that the racer is on track to compete for world champion status this season after his fall in Grand Prix Catalunya. After his crash in the Barcelona Circuit, the Ducati Lenovo Tea's rider had to finish second to Jorge Martin at GP India 2023.

"After the crash in Barcelona, we went through many moments of hardships and only people closest to me understood how I was feeling and I am very proud and lucky to have them," he said in a press release received by Tempo. "This win is for all of us. Today [Sunday] I only had one chance to try to be the best version of myself. Thank you Mandalika."

Bagnaia's positive result at MotoGP Mandalika is welcomed by Ducati Indonesia's CEO Jimmy Budhijanto. He said that Bagnaia's win fulfilled his promise to his supporters in Indonesia, including the Ducati community.

"We are very proud and touched by Bagnaia's performance in the GP Indonesia series this year. Starting at the 13th position did not hinder Ducati's rider from getting the best position, For us, this is the sweetest reward for all Ducati lovers and fans of Bagnaia in Indonesia," Jimmy said.

The sentiment is shared by the VP of Sales and Marketing of Ducati Asia Pacific Marco Biondi, claiming that he is proud of the Ducati rider's performance at MotoGP Mandalika.
