Still there ... a little bit': Italian's win adds to title intrigue, 'unrideable' Yamaha sees Aussie out early - MotoGP Talking Points

Marco Bezzecchi kept the MotoGP title conversation alive on Sunday in Indonesia by winning his fifth Grand Prix of the season and the first in 10 rounds. His victory on the Mandalika circuit—where the track baked in relentless sun to over 62 degrees—extended his lead over the past string of setbacks and left the championship with five rounds remaining. Bezzecchi had crashed in earlier weeks, and he was returning after being taken out by Jorge Martin in Hungary and other major incidents including a collarbone fracture in Germany. After a Saturday sprint crash, he led by 19 laps, set a new lap record (1:29.960) and surged ahead by 1.435 seconds.
