“Great victory and definitely not an easy one, because just like in Misano, Pecco [Bagnaia] didn’t make any mistake," Bastianini said after winning the Aragon MotoGP.
"I made a move in the same moment: I was close, had margin and made it happen. I need to keep the momentum going in these last five GPS.
"I never raced in Japan with a MotoGP bike but I want to do well and try to always be on the podium.”
Ducati are placed at the top of the Constructors' championship standings and they are followed by Aprilia and Yamaha respectively.
