MotoGP Malaysia 2024: report and results

Over the last five laps Martin closed the distance on Banaya, but some scares in his attempt to catch the leader meant the gap remained.

“I’m happy because we put on a good show.” said a satisfied Jorge into the Dazn microphones. “I had a good time in the first few laps and I’m enjoying it. Today we saw what Pecco is capable of. I tried everything, gave it my all, but I knew he would have to take more risks, which made it very difficult to stay ahead. If I had been ahead for at least one lap, things would have changed a little, but I’m happy because I’m returning home after being away for two months.“I need that local energy.”

The end of the season was postponed due to the cancellation of the Valencia Grand Prix, and the final round awaits a new location and date.

At the Sepang International Circuit Alex Marquez achieved one of his best results of the season after a podium finish at the Sachsenring and finishes the 19th round of the season in fourth position. A race in which the number 73 performed well in both starts (the second due to a red flag at the start of the race) and finds a great rhythm that allows it to withstand even the return of Acosta. There are 13 fundamental points left in the general classification, with Alex already 10th, ahead of Aleix Espargaro.

“It was a weekend in which we scored important points and, above all, regained the confidence and feeling that we had been missing a little in our last performances,” said Alex after the race. “It was not an easy race because with the red flag we had to remain highly concentrated and physically I was not 100%. “due to a slight cold that kept me from sleeping peacefully last night.”

“On a historically difficult circuit for me, I would say that it was a very positive weekend in which we were competitive both yesterday and today,” confirmed Marc Marquez.There are days when you don’t know why you’re falling“Today I felt comfortable and knew that I could fight hard for third and fourth place…”

“It was a tough race, although I think I had the potential to get close to fourth if I had not lost time when overtaking at the start,” said the Murcia driver. “It was difficult to control the temperature of the front tires and I didn’t want to risk it all.. I’m quite pleased with the result; “It was important to finish the race.”

For his part, Fernandez demonstrated his adaptability and skill in the challenging conditions of the Malaysian circuit, finishing in tenth place, representing his best result in this year’s championship. His performance demonstrates his progress and determination in a season that has been a constant challenge. “I’m happy with the top ten and, above all, with the pace I had in the race. I managed to manage the tires and overtake well, and although I was trying to get ninth place, tenth position is also a good result.”
