Sprint Race Champion Jorge Martin Ancama Francesco Bagnaia

JAKARTA Jorge Martin successfully came out as the winner of the 2023 Valencia MotoGP sprint race to keep his hopes of becoming world champion.

The Spaniard made 19 minutes 38.827 seconds at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, Valencia, Spain, Saturday, November 25, 2023.

Following the Prima Pramac Racing racer is Red Bull KTM racer Brad Binder. The South African rider is +0.190 seconds adrift.

Meanwhile, six-time world champion Marc Marquez completes the podium in third place. The racer nicknamed Baby Alien finished third with a time gap of +2,122 seconds.

Next is Maverick Vinales with a time of +3.106 seconds. Following in fifth place is defending champion and ruler Francesco Bagnaia.

Getting five points is clearly a bad record for Bagnaia. The reason is, the distance between points and Jorge Martin as a competitor in the fight for the automatic champion was cut.

Bagnaia is still in control of the top position of the standings with a collection of 442 points. He is only 14 points ahead of Martin.
