MotoGP world champion Francesco Bagnaia scored a redemption victory in the 2024 Catalan Grand Prix ahead of Jorge Martin, as Marc Marquez came from 14th to third.
Bagnaia looked on course to take the sprint victory on Saturday when he crashed out of the lead on the final lap. Biding his time in the first half of the race, Bagnaia reeled in Pramac's Martin to overhaul him on lap 19 of 24, before streaking away by 1.740 seconds to score his third grand prix win of the season. It moves him back up to second in the standings, though Martin has still extended his advantage to 39 points after finishing second in the grand prix.
The final points went to Marco Bezzecchi , Maverick Vinales , Acosta following his crash, LCR Honda's Takaaki Nakagami and factory Honda counterpart Joan Mir. Enea Bastianini crossed the finish line in ninth, but was handed a 32-second time penalty for failing to comply with two long lap penalties and a subsequent ride-through for ignoring his earlier punishments. This dropped the factory Ducati rider down to 18th.
