VIDEO – Bagnaia and Marc Márquez neck and neck in Jerez

Starting from pole position, his very first with Ducati, Marc Márquez had the opportunity to return to victory in Moto GP, the last dating back to October 24, 2021 in Misano (Italy). After losing a few places at the start of the race, the eight-time world champion came back at the end of the race on Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati).

In front of packed stands (300 people over the entire weekend, a new attendance record for a Moto GP Grand Prix ahead of the 000 French GP at Le Mans and its 2023 spectators over the entire event) and entirely committed to the Spanish legend, the Catalan gave everything to win in front of his audience.

At the end of a neck-and-neck duel, it was ultimately the double reigning champion who won. The 86th victory will wait for Márquez, but what a spectacle! A battle to relive below in live conditions with comments from Canal +.
