Round 5 of the MotoGP™ World Championship provided drama by the bucket load as the chase to be crowned the MotoGP™ King in 2023 took yet another decisive twist. But Bezzecchi won’t be Bagnaia’s only concern heading to his home Grand Prix at the magnificent Mugello because there’s now four riders split by one 14 points at the top of the standings. Bagnaia’s primary concern will, of course, be Bezzecchi after a second Grand Prix win of 2023 saw him cut Bagnaia’s post-Jerez advantage by 21 points. Yet another sensational Sprint performance saw him steal a point back on Bagnaia before a sixth place finish in Sunday’s Grand Prix added another ten points to the South African’s ever-growing tally. Martin’s Prima Pramac Racing teammate Johnn Zarco, meanwhile, crept up to fifth, now 28 points behind Bagnaia. Check out the best captures from a record-breaking weekend at the 1000th Grand Prix.
