Francesco Bagnaia won a thrilling Malaysia MotoGP yesterday after a ding-dong battle with championship leader Jorge Martin, to take the pair's title battle to the final weekend of the season.
Spaniard Martin's lead was cut to 24 points after he finished second behind the Italian defending champion Bagnaia, with 37 up for grabs in the final round in a fortnight's time.
Enea Bastianini was a distant third to complete the podium behind the dominant front two.
"Honestly, Jorge was very aggressive," said Ducati rider Bagnaia.
"But our pace was also good, and like always in the race, on the race day, I can attack."
