GP race Emilia Romagna actually left controversy. You see, Bastianini is considered to have carried out aggressive maneuvers while overtaking Jorge Martin on the last lap.
However, the MotoGP refused to carry out further investigations into the matter. This decision drew cons, including from Marc Marquez.
Marquez argues that Bastianini should be punished for his actions. The reason is, such maneuvers are very detrimental to opponents on track.
In this race, Marquez, who has six MotoGP world titles, finished third. Jorge Martin's compatriot finished with a time difference of +7.848 seconds from the front rider.
These two satisfying results from the race and Sprint Race keep Jorge Martin away at the top of the standings. He now has a total of 341 points and is further ahead of Bagnaia in second place.
Bagnaia failed to add points in this latest race. The Italian racer returned empty-handed due to falling at Turn 8 when the race left seven rounds and could not continue the race.
The next MotoGP series will take place at the Mandalika Circuit, Indonesia, on Sunday, September 29, 2024. There are still five Grand Prixs in total after that, namely Japan, Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Valencia.
