Francesco♏ Bagnaia wins the Spanish MotoGP after a👍n epic battle against Marc Marquez.

Unlike the sprint, Marc 🅘Marquez made the perfect start from pole as he led from MotoGP series leader Jorge Mart🐈in.

Bagnaia took the lead before the opening lap was over, but Marquez tried to come strai🎀ght back which gave Martin a sniff🥀 of the lead.
Bagnaia held strong u𓆉ntil the end of lap two when he got his braking wrong at the final corn💛er, which gave Martin top spot.
Further back, rookie sensation Pedro Acosta got a dreadful start as he dropped from tenth to P1🐼8.
Contact was made with Johann Zarco coming through turn five which resulted in Acosta 💟having to sit up before losing several positions.
There🦩 was no repeat of the sprint podium for Dani Pedrosa✤, who retired early on following a crash.
Zarco was part of ♔another incident, however, this time it ended as a crash ওas Aleix Espargaro took down the Honda rider in his own crash.
Another fall took place a few corners later but this time it was as dramatic as it could get a𒀰s Martin crashed from the lead at turn six.
With a lead ♎of over one second, Bagnaia was seemingly cruising following Martin’s error.
However, a new challenger was in second after Marquez 💮overtook Bezzecchi at turn six with 12 laps to go.
A new fastest lap of the race was then set by Marquez as the eight-time꧒ world champion was putting the hammer down to catch Bagnaia.
And he was doing just that as another thไree tenths were taken out of Bagnaia’s lead w🃏ith ten laps to go.
After catching Bagnaia, Marquez finally made his first move for the lead at 🍒turn nine.
Contact was then made when Bagnaia pushed Marquez wide on the exit of turn ten💙.
On the following lap, Marquez went f🃏or it again but Bagnaia was equ𒈔al to his attempt and gained the lead back at turn ten.
That was the final attempt Marquez had as Bagnaia then set a fastest lap of the race to do just🐟 enough.
