Sepang: Aspar Mahindra Team's Francesco 'Pecco' Bagnaia surged to his second and the MGP3O's third win of the 2016 season at Malaysian GP yesterday.
The win, at the 5.543-km circuit close to Kuala Lumpur's International Airport, was a massive boost to the Italian teenager's hopes of finishing high up in the championship, lifting him back to third overall after losing ground in recent races.
It was Mahindra's third win this year, with John McPhee taking sister -manufacturer Peugeot's MGP3O to victory at Brno. Bagnaia's first win of the year was at Assen in the Netherlands, by a margin of 0.030 of a second, typical in the closest class in the series.
Bagnaia was the sole survivor when three riders fell out of the leading group on the second lap.
