P1racenews AI automatic summary:
There were some real standouts in MotoGP’s final 2023 race meeting at Valencia – but also some deeply disappointing performances from riders who failed to capitalise on strong pace
The 2023 MotoGP season concluded with reigning champion Pecco Bagnaia emerging as the champion once again, winning the Valencian Grand Prix to seal his season. Unfortunately, title rival Jorge Martin had a less heroic end, crashing into Marc Marquez and ending up in the gravel. Many other riders also misjudged conditions and missed the chance to end their season on a high note. Penalties played a role in final rankings, wiping out the great results of some riders after the race had finished. Bagnaia’s performance throughout the weekend, from qualifying to the race, was outstanding, securing his title in style. Fabio Di Giannantonio also had an impressive race, even though he was later demoted in the final standings. Raul Fernandez delivered on his potential and secured his best-ever MotoGP finish, while Johann Zarco ended his time with Pramac Racing on a high note by achieving an excellent podium finish.
