What a departure from Bagnaia!
Here we go a second time! Pecco Bagnaia makes an excellent start but Martin is stuck to his heels. Marc Marquez moves up from 5th place to 4th place ahead of Morbidelli.
Miller is fine!
Jack Miller is fine. No serious injuries noted. He was taken to the circuit medical center for further examination. We even see it on TV.
Binder at the stands
Brad Binder entered the pits due to technical problems on his second bike. Zarco for his part is well on the grid. Information error on the part of MotoGP.
Used tires for Binder and Fabio
Binder and Quartararo had to use their first motorbike, as the other motorbike did not return to the box due to the fall. New tires could not be delivered. So these are worn tires on their Motorcycle.
Zarco left the pitlane
Johann Zarco went out beyond the 60 seconds allotted, he will have to start from the pitlane. He was 11th on the starting grid. What a mistake from LCR Honda.
Quick departure procedure
The pitlane will open at 8:20 a.m. French time. The drivers will have one minute to exit the pits and perform their sighting lap and position themselves on the starting grid. A new warm-up lap will then be carried out and it will be a second start.
Miller an ambulance
Jack Miller is in the ambulance. We did not have any images showing that he was well even though the race direction clarified that he was conscious.
The race will restart for 19 laps
The race will resume for 19 laps with the initial positions on the starting grid.
The race will resume
The race will be restarted with the initial starting grid because three laps were not completed. Binder and Quartararo will leave with the second motorcycle. We're still waiting to hear from Jack Miller.
Red flag!
Management raises the red flag. All the drivers are conscious but Jack Miller fell on the rear wheel of Fabio Quartararo. Which also destabilized Binder, who made a sun on the track, thrown from his motorcycle. He's fine, Quartararo is limping. Miller is still at the edge of the turn, on the tarmac, surrounded by marshals and doctors.

Bagnaia keeps the lead of the race
Here we go! A sensational start with Martin going in front but Bagnaia makes contact by putting his leg in front of the Pramac. Martin goes out of the way, which allows Bagnaia to cross at T1. Just behind, in the same corner, a huge crash took place between Miller, Binder and Quartararo.
Different tire choices between Martin and Bagnaia
Barcelona should replace Valencia
Due to flooding in the Valencia region, the Grand Prix scheduled in two weeks has been canceled. Several hypotheses were mentioned: Portimao in Portugal, Losail in Qatar in three weeks, Barcelona or Jerez on the planned dates. Finally, the director of Dorna put forward the idea of going to Barcelona on the scheduled dates. Simplest idea for ticketed spectators and the paddock.
Bagnaia in pole position
Like yesterday, Francesco Bagnaia will start in pole position but he will have to hold off Martin who always makes great starts. Alex Marquez will start from 3rd position. On the second row, three other Ducatis: Franco Morbidelli, Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini. Performing yesterday with an 8th place on the grid and a 5th place in the sprint race, Quartararo will try everything to achieve a similar performance or even better.
Martin, better management of emotions and coronation in sight
Francesco Bagnaia having crashed during the sprint race this Saturday in Malaysia, Championship leader Jorge Martin, winner, does not…
A race for the title
With Pecco Bagnaia's fall during the sprint race yesterday, Jorge Martin now has a 29-point lead. If he wins the race and Bagnaia finishes no better than 3rd, the Martinator wins the world championship. But watch out for slacking off and making mistakes under pressure.
