The 2023 MotoGP championship series came to an end at Valencia this weekend where Ducati’s Pecco Bagnaia was crowned champion. This gives Bagnaia back-to-back titles in the Premier class.
Title contender Jorge Martin (Ducati) kept things interesting by winning Saturday’s Sprint race ahead of Brad Binder (KTM) in second and Marc Marquez (Honda) in third. This put Martin just 14 points behind Bagnaia going into Sunday’s main event.
Things did not go well for Martin in Sunday’s race, however. After a mistake while battling Bagnaia for the lead put Martin back in 8th place, he crashed with Marc Marquez while battling back to the front, ending the race for both riders. Bagnaia went on to win ahead of second place Johann Zarco (Ducati) and third place Binder.
The riders test their new, 2024 bikes tomorrow at Valencia. Last minute signings were announced for 2024 as Luca Marini officially joins Repsol Honda and Fabio Di Giannantonio will take his place at Mooney VR46 Racing.
