Breathing
space
Heading
onto
the
last
lap,
Aleix
Espargaro
had
given
himself
0.6sec
breathing
space.
A
monumentally
huge
lap
was
incoming
for
the
number
41
and
Aprilia,
4.8kms
of
asphalt
was
all
that
separated
him
from
a
dream
debut
victory.
Turn
5
was
safely
negotiated.
Turn
7
too.
Three
corners
left
for
Espargaro
quickly
become
two.
Turn
13
was
safely
deposited,
no
attack
from
Martin
was
coming,
and
flicking
his
RS-GP
left,
Espargaro
took
the
chequered
flag
in
P1
for
the
very
first
time,
handing
Aprilia
their
first
premier
class
victory.
Emotion,
relief,
pandemonium.
Crucial
2nd
place
Martin
had
no
answer
in
the
end
for
Espargaro
but
second
place
is
crucial
to
kickstart
his
2022
campaign
after
two
DNFs
in
Qatar
and
Indonesia,
as
Rins
completed
the
podium
for
his
first
visit
to
the
rostrum
in
2022.
In
the
end,
Joan
Mir
was
only
0.5sec
away
from
team-mate
Rins
and
a
podium
finish,
but
it
is
a
solid
result
for
the
Suzuki
rider.
Francesco
Bagnaisa’s
P5
was
a
fantastic
comeback
ride
after
failing
to
make
it
out
of
Q2,
the
Italian
finished
ahead
of
Brad
Binder
and
Maverick
Vinales
in
the
battle
for
the
top
five.
Tricky
race
Defending
champion
Fabio
Quartararo
took
a
lonely
P8
in
a
tricky
race
for
the
Frenchman,
as
El
Diablo
ended
the
day
2.4sec
ahead
of
star
rookie
Marco
Bezzecchi
(Mooney
VR46
Racing
Team)
–
the
Italian
beat
compatriots
Enea
Bastianini
and
Luca
Marini
to
bag
a
tremendous
P9.
Qatar
GP
winner
Bastianini
relinquished
the
2022
FIM
MotoGP
World
Championship
lead
with
a
P10,
a
mistake
at
Turn
5
cost
‘The
Beast’ a
shot
at
a
better
result,
with
Marini
slipping
down
the
order
from
half
race
distance.
Over
to
COTA
We
had
to
wait
a
little
longer
than
anticipated,
but
Argentina
delivered.
Aprilia
and
Aleix
Espargaro
head
to
the
Grand
Prix
of
The
Americas
at
the
Circuit
of
the
Americas
(COTA)
on
April
10
as
FIM
MotoGP
World
Championship
leaders
after
a
wonderful
weekend.
2022
has
now
seen
nine
different
podium
finishers
in
the
opening
three
races.
Astonishing!
COTA,
the
stage
is
yours!
Bring
it
on!
