Below are five races that deserve to be named the best so far in 2024:

Portuguese Grand Prix

Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) has shown impressive performance in this race. He won the main race and got an additional 25 points, which led him to take over the top of the standings from Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team).

The race at Portimao was also marked by the success of rookie Pedrodecana (Red Bull GAS Tech3) who claimed the first podium. In addition, there was the drama where Maverick Vinales (Aprilia Racing) fell on the last lap.

No less interesting is an incident involving two world champions, Bagnaia and Marc Marquez. The two of them got into contact so that Bagnaia fell before the remaining three laps. Pecco finally went home empty-handed, while Marquez finished in P16.

American Grand Prix

Racing has been tight since the first lap at Circuit of The Americas (COTA). Asko took the lead and competed against Martin.

Heavy competition also occurred between Marquez and Jack Miller (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing). Marquez even lost his aero fairing after contact with his rival's motorbike.

Marquez at first seemed to have a chance to win. Unfortunately, he slipped at the last time of the race. As a result, victory belonged to Maverick Vinales (Aprilia Racing).

Vinales, who is familiarly known as Top Gun, actually had time to go down to 11th position before rising to catch up.

He then managed to register his name as the first racer to win with three different manufacturers in the MotoGP era.

Spanish Grand Prix

The race opened with a good start Marc Marquez starting from pole position. Fans were then presented by the double-overtake action of Francesco Bagnaia who overtook Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi from the outside as they headed for Turn 6.

The race was led by Martin, but he made a blunder and fell. Bagnaia, who filled the front position, then got resistance from Marquez.

However, Pecco finally suppressed the six-time world champion attack to record a hat trick victory at Jerez.

French Grand Prix

Martin performed brilliantly at the Le Mans Circuit. He managed to secure a double win to show his figure as a formidable rider. The 26-year-old driver started the race there by winning the Sprint Race on Saturday and followed the first podium on Sunday.

Throughout the main race, fans received a tight battle between the three world champions. Martin versus Bagnaia versus Marquez.

At its peak on the last lap, Martin was able to finish in front of his two rivals. Marquez beat Bagnaia to finish second.

Australian Grand Prix

Comeback and classic fights became the main spice of the race on Phillip Island. The bad start caused by the tear off helmet made Marquez fall to 13th position. The race was led by Martin and followed by Bagnaia.

Marquez then fought hard to catch up with Martin-Bagnaia. The three world champions had time to fight for the leading position before Bagnaia relaxed. The fight also left between Martin versus Marquez.

The last three laps, Marquez maneuvered the overtake to Martin at Turn 4. Martin's efforts to retaliate were in vain so Marquez went smoothly to secure a third victory in the 2024 season.
