## Race
### MotoGP Report

At the start, Marc Márquez kept his lead despite a good getaway from Álex Márquez. Francesco Bagnaia, who had taken third at the start, tried to pass the younger Márquez at turn 5, but ran wide and was re-passed by the Gresini rider. Further back, Aprillia's Marco Bezzecchi outbraked himself going into turn 1, clipping Fabio Quartararo's Yamaha and retiring from the race. The only other crash came on lap 2, when Raúl Fernández pushed Enea Bastianini off the track; this earned Fernández a long lap penalty, Bastianini continued with a damaged bike.
Further ahead, Álex Márquez took the lead away from Marc on lap 4 as the latter ran wide through turn 1. The Ducati rider stayed behind for the majority of the race, despite attempting to pass the #73 on lap 18, before slipstreaming past his brother on lap 21. The elder Márquez eventually won by 1.3 seconds from Álex, as Franco Morbidelli, who had passed Bagnaia for third early on through the use of a soft rear tyre, held on to his first podium placing since the 2021 Spanish Grand Prix. Marc Márquez, who pulled off his second successive sprint and GP win double, later claimed that his brother was now his "main opponent" for the title.
Following the race, eighth-placed Ai Ogura was disqualified for running a non-homologated ECU software.
