MotoGP Sprint Race Drama in Portimao

The MotoGP weekend kicked off with the Sprint Race held in Portimao, Portugal. The appetizer for tomorrow's race, where Bagnaia will try to repeat his success in Qatar, did not disappoint with plenty of spectacle, especially a few laps from the end. Pecco, riding his Ducati, dominated most of the race only to lose his lead five laps before the finish line. A mistake that cost the rider from Turin three positions, dropping from first to fourth. Responsible for these overtakes was a poorly calculated trajectory, a wide exit in turn 1 that cost Bagnaia important points for the standings.

Behind him was an aggressive Marc Marquez who fought first with his teammate, then with Martin, and then secured a great second place, grabbing his first podium of the season. Completing the podium was Jorge Martin who, precisely because of this third place, is two points behind Bagnaia who has maintained the lead in the standings.
