Starting grid for today’s Valencia MotoGP: How the race will begin
The 2023 MotoGP season is coming to a close with the championship still undecided. Francesco Bagnaia holds a 14-point lead over Jorge Martin as they head into the final round. Bagnaia starts the race in second position on the grid, while Martin begins in sixth. Maverick Vinales, the polesitter, has already broken the Valencia lap record twice this weekend. In the Saturday sprint race, Martin emerged victorious with Bagnaia finishing fifth, but Martin will need to do even better on Sunday to secure the championship title. Additionally, this round marks the final race for Marc Marquez as a Honda rider. This is Marquez’s last opportunity to represent Honda before moving on.
