The youngest of the Márquez family, after an outing in which Pecco Bagnaia seemed more than willing to repeat his victory in the sprint race and after an exchange of overtakes with Pedro Acostaknew how to wait for the right moment to give his particular blow to the Italian in the early stages of the second lap and climb to a lead that he would not relinquish throughout the race. The Murcian, meanwhile, also managed to find the perfect moment to snatch second place from a two-time world champion who would finally have to retire due to mechanical problems and thus give up his momentary third place to a Jto Mr who came back from seventh place on the starting grid to complete a 100% Spanish podium.

We have never given up and we are closer to the goal, which is to aim higher,” stressed the Honda driver at the end of the test. “I’ve had my moments, Pecco was super aggressive at the beginning and I was angry with him. warm upbecause we touched on a couple of things and I was losing a lot, so I said ‘if I mess up, let it be for me and let’s compete’,” confessed Pedro Acosta, who scored his fourth podium of the season. “At the level of sensations, there have been better weekends. We had two falls on Friday, but today the strategy was intelligent and winning. I was aggressive at the right time, because I knew that the race was going to happen there, last year I lost for not overtaking Enea at the beginning. It is an important victory and my thoughts are with the drivers of Moto3. Right now I have some strange sensations in my stomach,” said Álex Márquez.
