Dramatic start: Marquez brothers collide, Morbidelli escapes
The first lap already provided plenty to talk about: pole-setter Marc Marquez (Ducati) was touched lightly by his brother Alex Marquez when braking for turn 1, resulting in a broken right rear wing on his Desmosedici. While Marc was able to continue the race, VR46 rider Franco Morbidelli seized the opportunity and initially took the lead.
Despite the setback, Marc Marquez kept a cool head. In the early stages, he was initially beaten by Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia (Ducati), but regained the position shortly afterwards. With a clever tire strategy, Marquez saved his reserves for the final phase – and then went on the final attack.
Vinales on course for the title – and then the penalty
However, Maverick Vinales provided the biggest surprise. The KTM-Tech3 rider rode an outstanding race from sixth on the grid. At one point, he even took the lead and seemed to be on course for his first victory with the Austrian brand – and the chance to become the first rider ever to win with four different brands in MotoGP.
However, he made a small mistake on lap 16, which Marc Marquez immediately exploited. As a result, Vinales was no longer able to increase the pressure, but confidently managed his supposed second place ahead of Bagnaia.
Shortly after the end of the race, the disillusionment set in: Vinales received a time penalty of 16 seconds due to low tire pressure in the front tire – which did not meet the 60 percent minimum value for the race distance. Despite the setback, the Spaniard was optimistic: “Today we showed what this project is all about. I’m proud of our team and our performance. That was a liberating blow.”
Jorge Martin’s comeback ends in hospital
Jorge Martin wrote another tragic chapter. The Aprilia rider returned to racing for the first time after several injuries and showed impressive pace in training and sprints. But in the main race, he crashed heavily in turn 12 nine laps before the end. Martin was initially taken to the medical center with suspected chest trauma.
The subsequent diagnosis was sobering: six broken ribs in his right ribcage and a pneumothorax – a serious lung injury that required drainage. Martin will have to spend several days in hospital. This continues his series of injuries: the 27-year-old had already broken his hand, foot and wrist several times in February.
