MotoGP | GP Jerez Race, Bagnaia: “I knew I had something more”

GP Spain Jerez MotoGP 2024 Ducati – Pecco Bagnaia's masterpiece in the Spanish Grand Prix, fourth stage of the 2024 MotoGP.

The two-time Top Class world champion, starting from the second row, made a good start and immediately after made a masterpiece overtaking with a braking move on the outside to dry-sack Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin.

Subsequently he first fought with Jorge Martin, who then fell and then with Marc Marquez. With the eight-time world champion it was first a duel with fast laps and then a melee with no holds barred.

Marquez tried in every way to bring home his first victory with the Ducati, but had to surrender to the #1 of the two-wheeled "Red", who achieved his third consecutive victory, as did his mentor Valentino Rossi who said: “After this race I will be indebted to you for life”. Here's what she said to Sky Sport's microphones.

“The race was 'very' on the first lap, I got away straight away. It was good, but I don't think it's the best, this one is in the top five. I had planned that Marc would pick me up, I told myself to wait and push towards the end. The 37.4 gave me a lot of flavor. When Martin crashed I started pushing and improved my times, with Jorge in front I was struggling to make my lines because the temperature was rising. Afterwards, when it fell, I told myself it was important to stretch, I knew I had something more. I dedicate the victory to the team!”
