The crazy Marc Márquez reigns again in MotoGP. The Cervera driver gave the fans a spectacular victory ahead of Jorge Martín after a spectacular comeback. He failed to get a good start and once again had to come back. But he had the pace to take the lead and fought with the World Championship leader until the last lap. 93 came, overtook him and won to return to lead Phillip Island five years later. The third is already in the bag. The Pramac driver finished second and leaves Australia leading the championship after Pecco’s third place.
Bad start from Marc Márquez. The man from Lleida caused his motorbike to skid when he stepped on the motorbike’s tears (transparent plastic sheets placed over the polycarbonate shields of the helmet), which remained just under the rear wheel when he removed and fell. behind the grid, but no one knows how he managed to recover quite a few positions on the straight and move up to seventh position, just behind Bastianini.
But this time it didn’t take long to move on. the beast. Once again, the Spaniard got off to a bad start from the front rows of the grid. His key phrase “everything is possible, nothing is certain” has once again come true. “I go in front, I go up the first lap. “I go back, I go forward,” he said with a laugh after the sprint.
In front, Jorge Martín made a successful start with his Ducati and maintained this first position then pulled and tried to escape. With Marc out of action, at that moment Bezzecchi and Bagnaia became his pursuers. But the VR46 had to do a long lap, so Pecco was practically second. Once the Italian served his penalty, the two-time world champion moved to second place and Márquez to fourth place.
The eight-time world champion quickly overtook Franco Morbidelli. On the sixth lap, the 93 was already on the podium and only had the first two in the World Championship, Pecco and Jorge, in front of it. Behind, Bezzecchi crashed at turn four, one lap after completing the long lap. But the battle was ahead of us. Marc Márquez was already there and immediately hunted down Bagnaia.
The one from Cervera had something else and stuck to the wheel of the Ducati GP24 of 1, but could not overtake him. Pecco closed the gap very well in lanes one and four and couldn’t find any room to pass him. Nevertheless, the two men contacted Martinator. The World Cup leader saw his advantage disappear in an instant. Indeed, Bagnaia passed him 16 seconds from the end. It seemed that the Spaniard had made a small mistake and was losing power on the bike. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Victory is a matter of two
Jorge Martín returned the overtake a few laps later and Márquez took the opportunity to put the bike on the Italian on the Ducati Lenovo and take second place. From there, the race was a two-way affair. The current world champion could not keep up with the pace of the two Spaniards, who gradually escaped and left behind the second in the world championship. The fight for victory was a two-man affair.
The Gresini man was close to his compatriot, but the Pramac man closed the spaces very well. Márquez couldn’t manage the 24 even when taking the slipstream on the straight. But Martín knew that Marc was going to try no matter what at some point, and that’s what he did. With four laps to go, Jorge made a small mistake and the six-time MotoGP champion took the opportunity to put the bike back on and take first place.
The battle promised excitement until the end. Martinateur He is not satisfied with second place and returns the overtake in the first lane, taking advantage of the slipstream. But three turns later, at the fourth turn, the Ilerda man put the bike back on to regain first place. Jorge decided not to take any risks and settled for second place. From there, the 93 never gave up and headed straight to his third victory on one of his favorite circuits. This time he took victory in the dry, with a completely clean track and fighting head to head with the Ducati GP24.
