Francesco Bagnaia Wins Malaysian Grand Prix

Francesco Bagnaia secured victory at the Malaysian Grand Prix, keeping his MotoGP championship defense alive and reducing Jorge Martin's lead to 24 points before the final race. Bagnaia's win marked his 10th of the season, with Martin finishing second and Enea Bastianini in third. The race was marred by an early crash involving multiple riders, leading to a red flag and a restart. Despite intense competition, Bagnaia managed to pull away from Martin, who acknowledged the difficulty in keeping pace once overtaken. The season finale was originally slated for Valencia but has been canceled due to flooding, with plans to relocate to Barcelona for the decisive race. The championship will conclude with a total of 37 points available at the final event.
