It's done ! Fabio Quartararo is MotoGP World Champion and he is the first Frenchman to be crowned at this level of motorcycle competition... Which is quite simply the top of the mechanical food chain with two wheels and handlebars. Given his modest qualifications, we had resigned ourselves to postponing this deadline in Portimao. But with only four laps remaining before finishing at Misano, Pecco Bagnaia, who admirably held off a sparkling Marc Marquez, made a mistake...
From this gravel pit from which the official was getting up heavily Ducati history was written in golden letters. Certainly, the Frenchman had to give up his third place to a Enea Bastianini author of another crazy comeback on a track which had given him his first podium in mid-September, but he was still heading towards the title of World champion.
Everyone was happy in Misano!
In fact, in this Grand Prix, there were only tears of joy. Marc Marquez showed his arm by crossing this sixteenth stage as a winner, thus reminding us that he had just passed an important milestone by achieving success, for the first time since his accident in Jerez in 2020, on a circuit with a classic configuration.
Pol Espargaro ensured a double Honda which certainly made you shudder Alberto puig. We talked aboutEnea Bastianini, solid, which passes in front Jorge Martin in the ranking of rookies, and we will project ourselves on Johann zarco, in the top 5 and first to congratulate his compatriot on the track. He is fourth in the general classification, recovering while his rivals Mir et Miller were making mistakes.
But you will have to pay attention to Marc Marquez who, with his three victories are eyeing this position at the foot of the final podium... Finally, last but not least, the emotion also had a color: yellow. The farewells of Valentino Rossi were worthily celebrated with a decent top 10. Now go to Portimao, from November 5 to 7.
