hard-fought victory of Pecco Baganaia, who regained the leadership of the World Cup after the fall of Bezzecchi. The Italian overtook the two KTMs, which showed that Jerez is great for them. Brad Binder, who led for most of the race, was displaced to second place, followed by Jack Miller, who completed the drawer. Jorge Martín was fourth, Aleix Espargaró fifth and Dani Pedrosa seventh. Madness in the Ducati box after the career of its franchise rider. Maverick Vinales he withdrew in the last lap and added a zero, like Mir and Rins.
He started the race with the strong KTMs of Miller and Binder and placing himself in first position ahead of Aleix Espargaró. All clean until Fabio Quartararo, Oliveira and Bezzecchi they went to the ground in the second corner. The Frenchman remained inert on the ground. Red flag and no image on television. Concern in the Yamaha box and the car medicalized on the track. He breathed Jerez when he saw that ‘El Diablo’ stood up and was able to withdraw on his own foot. The Frenchman had hit the protection wall and had stayed stunned. Lame, Quartararo went to change his overalls to start again. Oliveira, on the other hand, went to the medical Center after having impacted with the head in the grave. What bad luck for the Portuguese, who was already injured in the first race of the year in Portimao when he was run over by Marc Márquez.
The race was resumed with a new start and one less lap. Race management decided to penalize Quartararo with a long lap penalty for throwing Oliveira, even though it gave the impression that it was a career move. This time yes. Completely clean start, again with the KTMs leading Martín third, Bagnaia and Espargaró fifth. Not a lap I can stand Alex Rins. The champion in Austin went to the asphalt of Jerez by himself although he was able to get up and continue, although a couple of laps later he gave up. Another disappointment for Honda with the drop in Joan Mir. Binder led, followed by Miller.
With 20 laps to go, Bagnaia began the attack on the KTMs. He messed with all the Italian on the inside forcing Miller to slack off. Apologies for the sin and anger from the Australian, who also saw how Jorge Martín overtook him in the next curve. more misfortunes for quartet, who upon serving his punishment (designed to lose three seconds) stepped on the line of the long lap at the start and race direction determined that he had to repeat it. With so many fights, Aleix was placed fourth, followed by the two Pramac Racing.
With ten laps to go, the KTMs were still in first place but Bagnaia He hadn’t said it all and took the inside from Miller to move into second. The Italian had had to let him pass when he served a race penalty and lost a position. The two Prime Pramacs (Martín and Zarco) had also surpassed espargaro. Meanwhile, Dani Pedrosa was carrying out a discreet race. Sixth on the grid he was in eighth position.
Bagnaia coup of authority
Eight laps to go and Marco Bezzecchi it went to the ground. The Italian of the Mooney VR46 lost the leadership of the World Cup with that mistake. Shortly before he had also suffered an incident Zarco, which left two Spaniards Martín and Espargaró, fighting for the podium, after Binder, Bagnaia and Miller. With four laps to go, Baganaia’s attack on Binder began to pass him just before the finish line. In the end, the Ducati Italian was reunited with victory and regained the lead in the World Championship.
Sam Lowes won the race Moto2. He had not done it since Misano 2021. The Englishman, at 32, did not give Acosta any options, which, yes, is a co-leader. Alonso López, solid third. El Tiburón de Mazarrón was faster at the start but Lowes ended up overtaking him at turn 13 and no longer left the lead. Bad race for Vietti, who went to the ground and was left without points.
In Moto3 won Iván Ortola, achieving the 700th victory for Spain in the World Cup. Holgado continues to lead, with four points of rent over Moreira, nine with Ortolá, 12 over Masiá and 18 over Artigas. The podium was completed by David Alonso and Jaume Masiá.
