WATCH: Insane MotoGP title fight – Martin vs. Bagnaia, 15 overtakes in 4 Laps at Malaysian GP

The MotoGP race that took place in the Malaysian Grand Prix was one of the best races we’ve seen in recent times. The World Championship fight between Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin was a spectacle for MotoGP fans. The Weekend started with Bagnaia winning the qualifiers and in the sprint race Jorge Martin became victorious after Bagnaia’s painful crash.

The low side from Bagnaia has just thrown his title hopes far away. Martin’s title chances are now within a touching distance as he could seal his first-ever world title if he wins the sprint race in the next grand prix. But in the race, Pecco was insane as he didn't make any mistakes like the day before and won the Malaysian Grand Prix setting the fastest lap on the Sepang International circuit. The most important thing to watch out for in this battle was between Bagnaia and Martin during the opening few laps.

Initially, Bagnaia and Martin started very well and wanted the lead in the first corner. Martin went a little bit wider and Bagnaia got the lead. Martin doesn't want to take anything for granted as he charges Bagnaia with all his skills and tactics. The reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia also wanted to defend his position he then went head-to-head with the championship leader. They both had 15 overtakes in just 4 laps which shows how insane the title fight between Martin and Bagnaia was in Malaysia GP.

In the end, Pecco won the fight and he went on to win the Sepang race. After the race, both the riders appreciated each other for the battle and they still have mutual respect for each other. The next race will happen in Spain but not in Valencia as the city was heavily flooded displacing people and damaging property. Barcelona will be the host for the final race of this season and we will most probably see a new world champion emerging from the race. Jorge Martin is the championship leader while Pecco Bagnaia’s third title hope is under the tunnel.
