Overview
- Fabio Di Giannantonio won Sunday’s Catalonia Grand Prix after two red flags and three starts in Barcelona.
- Pedro Acosta’s KTM suddenly slowed on the main straight with a technical problem, and Alex Márquez hit him at high speed as debris also sent Di Giannantonio to the ground.
- Team Gresini said Alex Márquez suffered a marginal C7 fracture and a broken right clavicle and underwent surgery at Hospital General de Catalunya.
- A separate crash in the first restart sent Johann Zarco to hospital, with his team saying he was not in critical condition and the rider later reporting severe left knee ligament damage and a small lower fibula fracture.
- Marco Bezzecchi stayed atop the championship after finishing sixth, and the incidents are set to fuel safety and restart procedure talks before the next round at Mugello.
