That streak ended today, and Jorge Martin (Ducati) took a blow to his championship hopes when he crashed out of the lead of Sunday’s race with just two laps remaining.
Martin was dominant in Saturday’s Sprint as he took the win over a resurgent Miguel Olivera (Aprilia), who finished second, and third place Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati).
Martin appeared to be on his way to a second victory this weekend as he led nearly the entire Sunday race before crashing out with less than two laps remaining. This handed the win to Bagnaia, who finished with a large gap over second place Marc Marquez and his brother Alex in third.
The series takes a break for several weeks. Bagnaia bumps Martin out of the championship points lead. For full results and points for Saturday’s Sprint race, visit the MotoGP site here. For full results and points for Sunday’s MotoGP race, visit the MotoGP site here.
