Marc Márquez, who started from second position on his official Ducati, saw his race cut short at the worst possible moment. While running seventh and seemingly on track to score a modest number of points, a crash on the penultimate lap left him out of the classification. A mistake that cost the rider from Cervera dearly.
The behavior of the Ducati at the limit of grip 🏍️
Márquez's Ducati GP24 lost the front end in a medium-speed corner, a critical point where front tire pressure and asphalt temperature play a decisive role. The technical team is now analyzing whether the electronics setup and chassis stiffness were adequate for the rear tire wear, which showed a high level of degradation in the final laps. A failure that leaves unfinished business.
The art of giving away points on the last lap 😅
Marc has decided that scoring eight points was far too vulgar. After all, why take a handful of units home when you can offer fans a low-flying spectacle? Sure, next time, give us a heads-up so the paddock vacuums are ready. After all, cleaning the gravel is also part of the show.
