HOT SHOTS

THE COME-BACK KID TAKES TEXAS

RIDER: Pecco Bagnaia BIKE: Ducati GP25 PHOTO: Ducati Media House
COMMENT: A last minute sprint away from the grid, to grab his slick-shod bike, backfired for Marc Marquez when the rest of the front row followed suit. After a restart Marquez crashed out on damp white lines, leaving Bagnaia to sweep to victory ahead of Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio( who took his first podium with Pertamina Enduro VR46) giving the 2022 / 23 champ a much needed confidence boost.
