Pramac’s Jorge Martin dominated a wild MotoGP Portuguese Grand Prix as Pedro Acosta grabed a maiden podium and world champion Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez collided.
Martin grabbed the holeshot off the line from third on the grid and led all 25 laps to secure his first grand prix victory of the season. Behind Martin drama unfolded as Ducati’s Enea Bastianini took second from Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales in a bizarre incident on the penultimate lap. Vinales slowed on the pit straight and allowed Bastianini to come through, before the Aprilia rider and sprint winner ran off at Turn 1 and crashed on the dusty run-off area.
Martin took the chequered flag 0.882s clear of Bastianini, with Acosta 4.480s behind in third. Binder was five seconds clear of Miller at the finish, with Marco Bezzecchi sixth on his VR46 Ducati ahead of Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo and Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro. Home hero Miguel Oliveira was ninth on the Trackhouse Racing Aprilia, with Fabio Di Giannantonio 10th on the second VR46 bike.
