teammate, Franco Morbidelli.
With the podium places all but
decided from lap seven, there
were impressive recoveries else-
where. Pedro Acosta (Red Bull
KTM) cut
through the field for
a fine fifth and held off Fermin
Aldeguer (Gresini Ducati) just
behind, who was also charging
through from ninth on lap four.
Luca Marini (HRC Castrol)
and Jorge Martin (Aprilia Rac
-
ing) were just behind. And there
was no
sign of Pecco Bagnaia
(Lenovo Ducati), who could
once claim this circuit as his
own. The Italian was a shell of
his former self as he wobbled
around to 14th, admitting he
was "living a nightmare" after.

1ST/2ND MOTOGP
"It was wonderful. I'm happy because
I gave it absolutely everything," said
Bezzecchi after Sunday's race. "Of
course, I'm disappointed because I
wanted to win—I really wanted it with
all my heart. We had incredible pace,
and being able to keep that speed
right to the end was amazing."
MYOWNRACE
Marco Bezzecchi (72) leads
the way, but a tiny mistake
going into the long left of turn
six was all Marc Marquez
(behind) needed to take the
Sprint lead on lap seven. Didn't
matter, though, as Marquez
crashed half a lap later.
Bezzecchi (72) made
the early running on
Sunday, but once
Marquez (93) slid past,
it was a yo-yo of a race
that Bezzecchi could
never recover from.
Alex Marquez (73) had
a lonely ride to third.
