MotoGP Valencia GP: Bagnaia wins title after Martin crashes into Marquez
Bagnaia and Martin came into the championship decider in Valencia with a 14-point gap between them, after Martin won the sprint on Saturday. Bagnaia only needed to finish fifth to secure the championship and started from pole position due to Vinales’ penalty. Bagnaia took the lead at the start, with Martin moving up to second. However, Martin ran off the track on lap three, dropping to eighth. On lap six, Martin collided with Marquez, causing both riders to crash. With Bagnaia’s championship win, he becomes the first Ducati rider to win two MotoGP titles and the first back-to-back champion since Marquez in 2019. It is unlikely that Martin will be promoted to the factory team for 2024 after not winning the championship. The race is still ongoing.
