Marc Márquez arrived at the MotoGP in Austria as the World Championship leader and leaves with a 13-point deficit. Seen this way, it is bad news for the champion from Cervera. But taking into account how the weekend has gone, it feels like he already considers it a good result. Márquez was second in the sprint race and had to settle for fifth place in a long race where he was one step away from crashing. Jorge Martín is the new leader of the championship after a Grand Prix that saw Pedro Acosta's first victory in the premier class.

22 years later, a Japanese rider has won a MotoGP Grand Prix. Ai Ogura (Aprilia RS-GP) achieved his first victory at the Dutch MotoGP Grand Prix, at the cathedral of Assen, on a day when the World Championship leader, Marco Bezzecchi, crashed out and lost the overall classification lead. Marc Márquez, therefore, continues to chip away at the points, even though he ended up penalized. The rider from Cervera did not have the best weekend, but he managed to stay in contention both on the day of the sprint race and today, in a chaotic race with a surprising winner.

The Italian Marco Bezzecchi has caused euphoria at the Italian MotoGP Grand Prix at the Mugello circuit, achieving his fourth victory of the year and strengthening his lead in the general classification. Bezzecchi waited for the opportune moment to overtake his compatriot Francesco Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP26), the leader until that moment, to escape alone on the way to a fourth triumph of the season that makes him the leader of the category. Spaniard Jorge Martín (Aprilia RS-GP) finished third. Marc Márquez (Ducati Desmosedici GP26) started very strong, but finished in seventh position, conditioned by returning to the circuits only twenty days after undergoing surgery.
