Let’s get the formalities out of the way – Marc Marquez was a fastest lap in the Sprint away from a perfect weekend. Pole, both wins, 37 points in the bag and with it, his deficit to the Championship is now just 18 points. But around him, it’s yet more chaos for the title contenders.
Fabio di Giannantonio switched aero packages heading into Sunday’s action and he tucks the front and crashes. Alex Marquez ruins a perfectly good Movistar tribute livery and crashes at the last corner. Jorge Martin has lost all confidence in his front end at Aprilia. And Marco Bezzecchi? Well he has a huge highside at Turn 6 down the waterfall and breaks his collarbone. He was out of the weekend meaning just 13 points from the Italian in the last 4 weekends. Is it now Marquez’s to lose?
