MotoGP in Australia: Marc Márquez wins, Martín extends championship lead

Marc Marquez was unbeatable

Marc Márquez was overjoyed after his third win of the season. The superstar initially “sabotaged” himself at the start of the race when a discarded tear-off visor caused the rear wheel to spin, causing Márquez to lose a few places. Thanks to a comeback, the 31-year-old Spaniard was able to celebrate victory after finishing second in the sprint the next day. “I don’t know where I was in the first corner, but I overtook a lot of riders after that and thought it was impossible to catch Martín. On the fifth or sixth lap I started to find my rhythm and things calmed down. It was a little stressful, but I’m super happy,” said Marquez.

KTM had a weekend to forget

KTM had a weekend to forget. In the sprint, only Augusto Fernández finished ninth. In the main race, Brad Binder was the best non-Ducati rider in seventh place. KTM top talent Pedro Acosta decided not to start on Sunday after falling in the sprint. The 20-year-old Spaniard complained of pain in his left shoulder. MotoGP will be in Thailand next week.
