Nadal is still king of France And does not leave: “I will continue”

Roland Garros: Ruud beaten, 14th Parisian trophy and twenty-two slam titles

MONTMELÓ (Spain)

The French Fabio Quartararo, on Yamaha, won the Catalan GP, ​​the ninth round of the MotoGP world championship.

The world leader preceded the Ducati Pramacs of Jorge Martin and Johann Zarco.

Incredible mistake for the Spaniard Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia), who, thinking he had finished the race, slowed down with one lap early, finishing fifth. Unlucky race for Francesco Bagnaia with the factory Ducati, on the ground at the first corner due to a braking error by the Japanese Takaaki Nakagami who also excluded the Spaniard Alex Rins. Zero points in the standings also for Enea Bastianini (Ducati-Gresini), who crashed with 17 laps to go.

Aleix Espargaro lives a nightmare in the final of the Catalan GP: convinced that the race was over, crossing the finish line in second place he got back on his Aprilia but there was still one lap to complete. Passed by his pursuers and slipped to fifth place, the Spaniard resumed pushing but by now the podium was lost.

Arriving in the pits, Espargaro threw himself into a corner, in tears, protected from the eyes of the cameras by the team members, to whom he had apologized for the incredible mistake.

Strong disappointment also for Francesco Bagnaia: «At the first corner of the first lap there is no need to do this. Nakagami is used to doing certain things, it’s bad because today I fell. He hit my bike very hard and after all these years of experience, these are mistakes that you cannot afford, ”he declared at the end of the Catalan GP referring to the accident caused by Takaaki Nakagami on the first lap.

MOTO 2

Italian success in Moto2. Celestino Vietti (team VR46), with a pass on the last lap, wins ahead of Aron Canet and regains the top of the drivers’ standings, with a 16-point advantage over the Japanese Ogura, who did not go beyond seventh place. Augusto Fernandez completes the podium of Montmelò, preceding Jake Dixon.

MOTO 3

Izan Guevara won the Catalan gp in Moto3. The young Spanish rider of the Aspar team finished ahead of David Munoz and Tatsuki Suzuki. At the foot of the podium Sergio Garcia, mocked in the final, but who nevertheless remains the leader of the standings after nine races. Bad day for Dennis Foggia, forced to retire due to motorcycle problems. –
