The MotoGP series visited the Motegi track in Japan this weekend. The track is owned by Honda and is considered the home race for both the Honda and Yamaha factories. Both of these factories continue to struggle, however, and neither of them placed a rider in the top ten at the checkered flag of the Sprint or the full GP race.
Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati) won both the Sprint and Sunday’s GP, cutting Jorge Martin’s championship points lead to ten points heading into the next round at Phillip Island.
Martin (Ducati) had an uncharacteristically poor qualifying at Motegi where he was forced to start both races from the 4th row of the grid. In the Sprint, he charged through the pack to finish 4th, and came all the way up to a 2nd place finish in Sunday’s race.
The podium finishers behind Bagnaia on Saturday included Enea Bastianini (Ducati) in second and Marc Marquez (Ducati) in third.
In Sunday’s race, the podium included Bagnaia and Martin finishing ahead of 3rd place Marquez.
