Jorge Martín will have to wait for the next Grand Prix to be crowned champion. Pecco Bagnaia He managed to save the first match point for the Spaniard by winning in Sepang and shortening the distance to 24 points, many but still insufficient (37 remain to be played). Martinator He had a great fight with Pecco but the Italian was proving intractable all weekend, except for his fall in the sprint. The Madrid native needed to add nine more points than the Italian and ended up losing four but left the title facing. Martín has everything in his favor to be champion in Barcelona (the place chosen after ruling out racing in Valencia) in two weeks. Marc Marquezwith everything in favor to be third, crashed and puts third place in the World Cup at risk against Bastianiniwho finished third.
Very hot on the asphalt, with more than 50 degrees, an ordeal for the tires. Martín rode half forward, a different bet than the rest of the grid, including Pecco Bagnaia, who was obliged to win to continue having options. Accidental exit. Martin and Bagnaia They had arrived evenly at the first corner but the Italian came out of it as the leader while Miller, Binder and Quartararo They caused a multiple accident that caused a red flag. The Australian had to be treated on the track. The images were worrying watching the accident. Miller left the circuit in an ambulance. Concern at KTM while waiting for the medical part. He arrived just as the race was resuming. Relief to see him leave the medical center on his own, although he was going to be transferred to a hospital for a thorough examination.
Resurrection with the original grill and one less lap. Quartararo ran but Binder retired. On this occasion Bagnaia turned out much better. Martín’s bike lifted slightly and Marc Márquez and Morbidelli were touching each other slightly. Martín went on the attack and tried to overtake Pecco before finishing the first lap and he succeeded on the second attempt, at turn 14, but the Madrid native slipped in shortly after. The first lap ended with the leading Italian, followed by Martinator and Marc Marquez. Spectacular fight between the first two in the World Cup. It seemed like the last laps were being fought, the pace was infernal.
After four laps of overtaking and counter-overtaking, Bagnaia seemed to get some air with a fast lap, although Martín did not let go of him. Márquez was a luxury spectator from third place, with Morbidelli and Bastianini already slightly off the hook. Little by little the Italian established himself in the lead. Marc Márquez crashed at turn 15 when there were 12 laps to go. He managed to lift the bike but left the way clear for Bastianini in the fight for third place in the championship and freed Martín from pressure in the fight for second place in the race. Acosta was running fifth, putting pressure on Álex Márquez. In the end, Bagnaia’s tenth victory (Martín adds three) which only serves to prolong the agony for two weeks, in which Martín has everything in his favor to be world champion.
The victory in Moto2 it was for Celestino Viettiwho dominated the race from the moment the traffic lights went out and resisted Jorge Navarro’s attack. The Valencian climbed to a podium completed by Izan Guevara. Fermín Aldeguer, who had undergone surgery on his left hand, was out of the race, as was Ayumu Sasaki, with fractures in his right wrist and ankle. Moto3 had a regular winner: David Alonsowho added his sixth consecutive victory and 13th of the season, being the driver who has achieved the most victories in the category. Furusato and Rueda completed the podium.
