MotoGP Spanish GP: Bagnaia on record pace in second practice
The reigning world champion clinched victory at the Spanish GP for two consecutive years and enters the 2024 race after disappointing performances in Portugal and America. Pecco Bagnaia secured pole position with a time of 1m36.025s, leading Maverick Vinales by 0.100 seconds. Marc Marquez narrowly missed the top spot, settling for second ahead of Marco Bezzecchi and championship leader Jorge Martin. Numerous crashes occurred during the session, with Bagnaia ultimately setting a new lap record, 0.100s faster than Vinales. The session also saw Fabio Quartararo, Alex Marquez, Dani Pedrosa, and Miguel Oliveira among those who suffered falls. Brad Binder’s late crash cost him a top-10 finish, relegating him to 11th place in the final standings.
