To win races, you need to finish them. As one of the most experienced riders in MotoGP, Marc Márquez knows this well, but he couldn’t avoid a crash in the Sprint race of the Spanish GP.
The Gresini Spaniard was leading with four laps to go, eyeing his first victory aboard a Ducati. However, in a race with several incidents, he himself was involved in one of the many crashes.
It happened at turn nine of the Jerez circuit, with no major physical consequences. Márquez got up and returned to the track to fight fiercely for the last points-scoring positions. He finished in seventh place.
In the following video, you can see the fall of the eight-time world champion.
OH NO @marcmarquez93! 💥
