Pol Espargaró’s sickening crash in second practice, him and bike skipping across compressed gravel to slam into the barriers, the worst of the lot. In fact the full allocation of points weren’t even awarded, with only 14 finishers registered in the 22-bike field. There’s no doubt he has the pace to be a competitor. Martin suggested that the aggression would probably be toned down once riders got used to the format. Even team manager Francesco Guidotti was pessimistic ahead of the first race “He keeps doing the same, so maybe he needs to get stronger penalties. “We are not happy,” he told the MotoGP website. The home rider in clear pain but later found to be uninjured. Marc Márquez was so nearly in the winners column this week. The field looks competitive and at least one other team is within sniping distance of a potential championship challenge. Victory in the sprint. Only two riders have ever won back-to-back championships in the MotoGP era.

Bagnaia avoids Marquez mayhem to win MotoGP opener in Portugal (FRANCE 24)

World champion Francesco Bagnaia won Sunday's season-opening Portuguese MotoGP after a costly mistake by pole-sitter Marc Marquez.

MotoGP heads to Argentina next weekend for the second race of a season that features two new venues on the calendar in India and Kazakhstan and the new sprint format on every race weekend. "We have to keep going like this." Holgado's win came after a bitter sweet weekend for the KTM Tech3 team after Pol Espargaro's horror crash in practice on Friday left the Spanish veteran with "severe spinal trauma and a contusion to his lungs". Oliveira had led fleetingly, following a quick start from the second row on the grid, before Bagnaia forged to the front, seconds before Marquez made his intervention. Marquez received a hostile reception from some of the fans on his return to the pits where he quickly made his way to Oliveira's garage to offer his apologies. He then joked that after Saturday's 12-lap dash in the sprint "I'm not used to such a long race".
