Marco Bezzecchi was untouched throughout the Portugal Grand Prix, leading from lights out to the chequered flag with a dominant performance.

The Italian didn’t look as though he struggled at all in Portimao, as his grip on third place in the MotoGP standings tightened heading into the season finale at Valencia.

Following Bezzecchi home in second was Alex Marquez, who held on, despite some extreme tyre wear and intense pressure from KTM’s Pedro Acosta in the final few laps.

Brad Binder had a great start and maintained a solid pace to finish fifth, just behind Gresini’s Fermin Aldeguer in fourth.

Francesco Bagnaia crashed out of fourth place halfway through the race, as his disappointing run of form continues. It’s his fifth retirement in six races.
