MotoGP Valencia GP: Bagnaia wins title after Martin crashes into Marquez
Bagnaia and Martin entered the championship decider in Valencia with a 14-point gap between them, following Martin’s win in the sprint race. Bagnaia only needed to finish in fifth place to secure the championship title and started from pole position due to Vinales’ penalty. Bagnaia took the lead at the start, while Martin made an impressive move from sixth to second. However, Martin’s race came to an end on lap six when he collided with Marquez while battling for fifth, causing both of them 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. Martin’s chances of being promoted to the factory team in 2024 are now unlikely. The race is still ongoing.
