ROUND 4 / APRIL 26-28, 2024 CIRCUITO DE JEREZ – ANGEL NIETO / JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA, SPAIN MOTOGP I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P80 23 ENEA BASTIANINI DNF/5TH MOTOGP "It was a difficult race, as I couldn't repeat the same type of start as in the Sprint race, so I lost some ground," Bastianini said. I tried to bounce back, but just like yesterday, I didn't manage to overtake Brad [Binder] throughout the race, as he hit the brakes later than me. Too bad, because I was expecting something more, but the result is still a good one." 93 MARC MARQUEZ 6TH/2ND MOTOGP "It has been a very important race," Marc Marquez said. "In the be- ginning, I felt a bit stiff because I crashed in Austin and crashed again yesterday. Then, at the beginning, I lost some positions, but the speed was there to come back and fight with Bagnaia. It was a tough fight, but that's racing. I tried to close the door, and he was in the inside and, in the last lap, he was super good; he pushed and set the fastest lap of the race. I tried to follow him, but he had a bit more, but I'm feeling happy for this first podium." MYOWNRACE Fabio Quartararo (20) and Dani Pedrosa battle it out for third in the Sprint race. Quartararo beat Pedrosa to the line but was dinged eight seconds for running under-inflated tires, promoting Pedrosa to a hugely popular third place.
