Finish Line – Marquez Claims Victory

Last lap: Marquez is ahead by 0.5 seconds, and it seems Martin's push has come to a halt.

Mir has been eliminated due to a crash.

Martin considered making a move at Turn 2, but there was no opportunity to pass.

During the 26th of 27 laps, Marquez crosses the finish line ahead of Martin once more, successfully defending his position as they approach Turn

Marquez dives aggressively into Turn 4. It seemed as though he was a bit unstable going in, but he managed to hold on! Martin showed excellent adaptability in that move.

Lap 25 of 27: With only three laps remaining, Marquez crosses the line in the lead. However, Martin charges ahead at Turn 1, making it look as though the GP23 was motionless!

Lap 24 out of 27

With just four laps remaining, Marquez is closely trailing Martin as they navigate through the first and second turns.

Lap 23 of 27: In the initial sectors, the gap between the frontrunners narrows slightly, yet Martin maintains his lead.

Marquez is in a position where he has nothing to lose, but I doubt he will take any chances that might affect another Ducati competitor who is in contention for the championship.

This is restricting his choices for relocation.

Martin maintains a protective position through Turn 4, just as he has for the previous laps. This strategy is successfully preventing Marquez from advancing, aided by Martin's strong performance when exiting the corners.

Lap 22 of 27: Martin maintains a narrow lead of 0.150 seconds ahead of Marquez, with just six laps remaining.

Lap 21 out of 27: There are no alterations in the leading positions, with Bagnaia trailing Marquez by 3.1 seconds.

Bastianini holds the fourth position, followed by Binder, Morbidelli, Vinales, Di Giannantonio, R. Fernandez, and Miller.

Quartararo, Zarco, Rins, Marini, and A. Marquez all finished in positions that earned them points.

Lap 20 out of 27: Martin is in the leading position with a narrow gap of 0.078 seconds ahead of Marquez as they cross the line, while Bagnaia is trailing further behind by 2.4 seconds

Savadori has entered the pit area.

At Turn 4, Martin experiences a brief incident but manages to maintain his lead over Marquez, escalating the tension in the race.

Lap 19 out of 27: With only nine laps remaining, Bagnaia trails Marquez by 1.9 seconds. It seems that securing third place is the best outcome he can achieve in this race.

Martin has committed a minor error, and Marquez is putting pressure on him.

Lap 18 of 27: Martin received a communication indicating that the rider behind him is number 4. Although Marquez isn't number 4, he demonstrates exceptional skill exiting Turn 3, setting himself up for an overtaking move into Turn 4. Perhaps this is what the Pramac team is referring to.

Lap 17 of 27: As they embark on the 17th lap, Marquez is the closest he's been to Martin. Meanwhile, Bagnaia trails Marquez by one second.

Lap 16 of 27:

Martin leads Marquez as they cross the finish line with 12 laps remaining. This is a significant challenge for the championship leader's determination. Marquez isn't competing for the title, while Bagnaia is losing ground. There’s no need for him to take any unnecessary chances.
