Sprint
After securing an amazing pole position in qualifying earlier on Saturday, the Frenchman unfortunately couldn’t replicate the same success in the Sprint Race, crashing out on Lap 2 at Turn 6.
The short-lived battle between Marquez and Quartararo was one to watch, with tensions flaring right from Turn 1, where Marquez managed to pass Quartararo as he struggled to brake on time.
Although Quartararo quickly reclaimed the lead, he completely lost out on Lap 2, later explaining that his bike had “started to shake,” forcing him to brake and ultimately leading to his crash and retirement from the session.
The rest of the Sprint Race continued with the Marquez brothers up front, separated by half a second, followed by Bagnaia and Morbidelli.
Similar to Quartararo, Pramac’s Miller also crashed at Turn 6 with just eight laps to go, while Johann Zarco retired after a crash in Sector 1 with seven laps remaining.
Joan Mir, who started in ninth, lost a few places over the course of the Sprint Race but managed to recover to his original position following the retirement of several riders.
Once again, the trio — Marc, Álex, and Bagnaia made up the podium for the Sprint Race at Jerez, with the brothers continuing their P1-P2 streaks for the season.
Grand Prix
With what could be considered one of the luckiest, if not the liveliest, crowds so far, Jerez was ready for an unexpectedly action-packed race ahead.
Starting up front, Quartararo found himself in a fair fight despite a minor bike issue that had taken him out of the sprint race. Although he inevitably lost his front-row spot, he secured second place — a decent comeback after being away from the podium for two years.
Lap 1 saw a short-lived drama between the Ducati Factory duo, with Bagnaia temporarily moving into second after Álex went wide, missing out on his first chance to overtake. However, it didn’t take long for the Gresini rider to catch Pecco on Lap 4 and eventually take the lead on Lap 11.
Marc crashed on Lap 3 at Turn 8 and dropping to the bottom of the grid. Aldeguer followed with a fall at Turn 6 on Lap 6, and later Joan Mir crashed at the same spot on Lap 15. Morbidelli also went down at Turn 11 on Lap 17.
Marini had a brief battle with Bastianini as he fought to break into the top 10 — a positive sign for Honda, with hopes for more progress after Espargaró’s test sessions over the weekend.
Looking to make up for the Qatar race, Viñales found himself in a strong battle for a podium spot, closing the gap to Pecco but ultimately securing fourth place.
To add on, Jorge Martín missed out once again, with Savadori stepping in for him. However, over the weekend it was confirmed that Martín has been discharged from the hospital with no major complications to his lungs. We wish a speedy recovery to the World Champion.
Álex now leads the championship by one point once again. Coming up next, don’t miss the French GP on May 11th at 13:00 BST.

The dynamics of high-speed aerial maneuvers, particularly the dive-bombing technique, have evolved significantly since its early adoption in military aviation. The UK played a pivotal role in shaping these strategies, particularly during WWII, where dive-bombers like the Fairey Swordfish became integral in naval operations. Modern iterations have refined the precision and speed with which these maneuvers are executed, though the essence of the tactic remains rooted in these historical advancements. Understanding its origins, especially within the UK, provides https://www.thelondontriathlon.co.uk/ valuable insight into its continued relevance in contemporary air combat.
Hi there! I actually came across https://galacticwins-newz.com/ while looking through a few UK-friendly review sites. What really stood out to me was the transparency—the terms and conditions weren't hidden in some massive wall of text, which is a rare find. I decided to try a mix of their classic slots and some live dealer games. Just as I was about to wrap up my session, I hit a lucky bonus round that put me comfortably in the green. It was a great ending to the night!
