MotoGP: Johann Zarco has claimed his first MotoGP victory in over 100 races after claiming the victory at Phillip Island with a dramatic overtake on the final lap.
The first Saturday Grand Prix in eight years didn’t disappoint. But then Phillip Island rarely does.It started as a demonstration of pure pace, with Jorge Martin dominating off the lined and putting what seemed to be an insurmountable 3.5 seconds on the rest of the field.
Watch every practice, qualifying and race of the 2023 MotoGP World Championship live and ad-break free during racing on Kayo.He couldn’t have wished for a more spectacular way to claim his maiden. “Great to see it!” he said. “I was not thinking about it, then during the lap I said, ‘I have to do it’ and I found a good spot.
Whatever the reason, he chose the soft rear tyre, a decision that cost him what should have been a straightforward victory and put him further behind in the championship battle. Bagnaia has received his fair share of criticism in recent weeks. He’s struggled to recapture the effortless pace he enjoyed before his serious crash in Barcelona, which had allowed Martin to close a 66-point gap on him so quickly.
Di Giannantonio is the reverse side of the Márquez-to-Gresini coin. While news of the Spaniard’s Ducati switch has been the month’s dominant story, comparatively less coverage has been given to the man he’s displacing. Much of his turnaround is down to his switch in crew chief, from the inexperienced Donatello Giovanatti last season to Frankie Carchedi, who engineered Joan Mir’s 2020 title-winning campaign.
