While MotoGP hopes and waits for good news from its Moto3 support paddock, here’s how the premier-class field compared through the Malaysian GP weekend
The Malaysian Grand Prix weekend was overshadowed by the serious crash involving Moto3 riders Noah Dettwiler and Jose Antonio Rueda, emphasizing the importance of their well-being over anything else. Despite this, let’s compare the performance of the premier-class field throughout the weekend: Qualifying: 5th, Sprint: 3rd, Grand Prix: 2nd. Acosta’s exceptional Sunday ride put him in contention, despite setbacks like crashing in Q2 and benefiting from circumstances in both races. Quartararo surprised many with his performance, maximizing the sprint and holding up well over the full Sunday distance. Marquez, a known Sepang master, overcame a messy Friday and clinched the race after a suboptimal sprint. Bagnaia showcased strong performance all weekend, despite previous disappointing outings.
