10 things we learned from the 2023 MotoGP Valencia Grand Prix
The 2023 MotoGP season ended with an intense finale at the Valencia Grand Prix, where Francesco Bagnaia became the world champion. Bagnaia had a 21-point lead over Jorge Martin before the race, which reduced to 14 points at the start of the grand prix. Unfortunately, Martin crashed, ending his championship hopes and chances of moving to the factory team. Bagnaia won the race, securing his seventh grand prix victory of the season and becoming the first Ducati rider to win consecutive titles. Despite being involved in the crash that ended Martin’s championship, Marc Marquez had a successful farewell weekend with Honda, achieving a sprint podium. However, Marquez faced criticism from Marco Bezzecchi, setting up a potential rivalry for 2024 when Marquez joins Gresini. The tire pressure rules did not impact the championship, but Fabio Di Giannantonio missed out on a deserved podium due to them. In other news, the RNF team was rejected from the 2024 grid because of financial problems, opening the door for a new team to join from the world of four wheels. Overall, it was an exciting end to the season with Bagnaia proving himself as the deserving champion.
