A race-long tussle saw Bastianini &#8211; the 2020 Moto2 champion &#8211; rise through the places until he was on the tail of leader Pol Espargar\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With four laps to go, the young Italian blasted past Espargar\u00f3 and saw the Honda overshoot the first turn. That opened the door for a debut victory for Enea, and an emotional first victory in 16 years for the Gresini team, who lost their eponymous founder to COVID last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MotoGP Highlights: Qatar (2022) | Bikes are back and in stunning style with a surprise winner\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0I31PKdv1rY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019038529-LAT-20220320-202203_image_007.jpg\" alt=\"MotoGP rider Marc Marquez\" class=\"wp-image-6564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019038529-LAT-20220320-202203_image_007.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019038529-LAT-20220320-202203_image_007-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019038529-LAT-20220320-202203_image_007-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Going in hot: Marc Marquez steams through the paddock after crashing on the warm-up lap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Marc Marquez\u2019s huge high side<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The past three years have been among the toughest of his racing life. The 2020s have really not been kind to the eight-time world champion. His recovery from surgery in 2020 looked to be on track as he won two races in 2021, and sat out the final two rounds to focus on rehabilitation for the forthcoming campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But disaster struck during the warm-up lap in Indonesia, as he suffered a huge high-side at Mandalika. He\u2019d already crashed three times in practice, and was rushed to hospital. He returned to the track, but another surgery on his right arm was required, so he had to sit on the sidelines once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marquez has now missed 22 of the last 43 races since the start of 2020, and the rest of his 2022 season is in doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MotoGP Highlights: Qatar (2022) | Bikes are back and in stunning style with a surprise winner\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0I31PKdv1rY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019063662-LAT-20220403-966186.jpg\" alt=\"Aleix Espargaro celebrates his first ever race win\" class=\"wp-image-6565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019063662-LAT-20220403-966186.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019063662-LAT-20220403-966186-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019063662-LAT-20220403-966186-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Aleix Espargar\u00f3 has been on the MotoGP circuit since 2004, and finally won a race in 2022.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>At last, a MotoGP win for Aleix!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With 13 years of experience in the premier class, Aleix Espargar\u00f3 has been out to prove that 2022 will be different. Fast, competitive, and driven, his task was to make a splash with the returning Aprilia factory team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it only took three races to get up to speed, when he took his maiden victory after 200 Grand Prix starts. He engaged in a tough fight with Jorge Martin through the winding &nbsp;Aut\u00f3dromo Termas de R\u00edo Hondo, but wasn\u2019t able to get his bike slowed down in time to make the perfect move. But with five laps to go, the Spaniard got it right and was unleashed into the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having soaked up four laps of intense pressure, Espargar\u00f3 took to the top step for the first time in his motorcycle career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MotoGP Highlights: Argentina (2022) | History is made in Termas de R\u00edo Hondo!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fJDi8OkZxcE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1023\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019190535-LAT-20220605-986607.jpg\" alt=\"MotoGP rider Espargaro riding in Barcelona\" class=\"wp-image-6566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019190535-LAT-20220605-986607.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019190535-LAT-20220605-986607-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019190535-LAT-20220605-986607-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One lap walkout: Espargar\u00f3 thought the Catalunya GP had ended as he crossed the line to start the final tour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Premature celebration issues haunt Espargar\u00f3<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t to be the last time Espargar\u00f3 would be in the spotlight. He has consolidated his debut victory with four successive podiums. But the first half of his season will be defined by a complete moment of madness in Catalunya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sat in second place behind championship leader Fabio Quartararo, Aleix looked set for a decent podium, keeping the pressure on the Frenchman. But as the Aprilia crossed the line to start the final lap, the bike slowed, driver relaxed and started waving to the fans. It wasn\u2019t until the third bike had passed him that he realised the race had not, in fact, finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He dropped to 5<sup>th<\/sup> position, throwing away nine precious points to the reigning champion. Upon his return to the garage, the inconsolable rider realised his vital mistake \u2013 misreading the lap count on the timing tower at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MotoGP Highlights: Catalunya (2022) | A couple moments of madness around Barcelona \ud83d\ude33\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XlQeiWScYsU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019223893-LAT-20220626-992960.jpg\" alt=\"Fabio Quartararo crashes into Aleix Espargaro\" class=\"wp-image-6567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019223893-LAT-20220626-992960.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019223893-LAT-20220626-992960-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1019223893-LAT-20220626-992960-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fabio floors it: Quartararo overcooks the corner and takes Aleix with him<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quartararo over the handlebars<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reigning world champion Quartararo has enjoyed a faultless season. Three wins, six podiums, and top of the drivers\u2019 standings. But he took a major blow at Assen, just before the season\u2019s break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Frenchman took a rash decision to dive down the inside of Aleix for second place in the early stages of the race. He lost the bike, and crashed into his title rival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Aleix dropped to 15<sup>th<\/sup> and undertook a heroic effort to rise to an excellent fourth place (with a stunning double overtake in the final chicane), Fabio faced different fortunes. He consulted his crew about retiring, but continued, with the risk of rain looming over the Assen circuit. But it was just three laps before the damage sustained to his bike proved it unrideable. He was thrown over the handlebars, opening the door to his championship chasers, and the prospect of an epic second half of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MotoGP Highlights: Netherlands (2022) Ride Of The Season Contender From Aleix Espargar\u00f3\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u_BmYyT7PQg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><strong>Remember, the drama isn\u2019t over yet: we still head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsporttickets.com\/en\/motogp\/austria\">Austria<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsporttickets.com\/en\/motogp\/aragon\">Aragon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsporttickets.com\/en\/motogp\/australia\">Australia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsporttickets.com\/en\/motogp\/valencia\">Valencia<\/a> before the year is out.
