The final push to the end of the 2023 MotoGP season began with a dramatic Indonesian Grand Prix weekend in which the title picture swung back and forth.
MotoGP’s return to the Mandalika International Street Circuit for the second edition of the revived Indonesian Grand Prix went off largely without controversy, with the track surface re-laid after last year’s problems with asphalt breakup. Pramac’s Jorge Martin took the championship lead for the first time with his fourth-successive sprint win, as Francesco Bagnaia struggled to eighth from 13th on the grid.
Then Bezzecchi fractured his in a training crash at Valentino Rossi’s ranch last Saturday. Having had surgery on his fracture on the Sunday before flying to Indonesia on Wednesday and arriving on Friday morning for his medical check ahead of FP1, Bezzecchi could seldom consider he’d be a podium finish in the sprint just 24 hours later. Team-mate Marini scored a maiden pole and was second in the sprint.
