JAKARTA Aprilia team racer Aleix Espargaro was able to win a double home dream after reaching the first podium at the 2023 Catalunya MotoGP, Sunday (3/9). Previously, Espargaro was also able to win the Sprint Race which took place on Saturday (2/9).

Apart from Espargaro, Aprilia's team also grabbed the podium through Maverick Vinales who finished the race behind Espargaro.

Throughout the race, Espargaro continued to follow Vinales who was leading ahead. Espargaro began maneuvering to overtake his teammate in the last six laps. The maneuver forced Vinales wide with four laps remaining.

The condition of the front tire on his aus motor makes it difficult for Vinales to catch Espargaro so he has to settle for the second podium. Pramac Ducati rider Jorge Martin finished the race in third place, after defeating his teammate Johann Zarco and RNF Aprilia rider Miguel Oliveira.

The race at the Catalunya MotoGP was stopped after many accidents, including those experienced by Francesco Bagnaia. The reigning champion suffered a leg injury so he had to be taken by ambulance to a local hospital.

As the race entered the first corner, Enea Bastianini, who started from 14th after being hit by a penalty, tried to maneuver into the track. Unfortunately, he but ran out of space and fell by dragging Johann Zarco, Fabio at Giannantonio, Alex Marquez and Marco Bezzecchi.

All drivers except Bagnaia and Bastianini can restart, from their original grid position. Brad Binder, who ran out of medium-type front tires, was forced to install hard tires to restart, but withdrew after just a few laps.

Two former champions, Marc Marquez and Fabio Quartararo competed fiercely in the early laps, before Quartararo placed his Yamaha under Marquez as Honda widened and took over eighth. French racers who still used M1's fairing have ended the race in seventh place for a long time, while Marquez is in 13th position.
