1. Portuguese GP: Fireworks in Portimão
Portimão was the stage for one of the year’s most electrifying races. Jorge Martin, aka the ‘Martinator,’ wasn’t just gunning for points—he seized the championship lead from Francesco Bagnaia. Absolute scenes! 🎉🚀
Meanwhile, rookie Pedro Acosta’s first-ever podium came thanks to Maverick Viñales taking a tumble on the last lap. 🍊⚡ And let’s not forget the drama when Bagnaia and Marc Marquez clashed. The result? Both riders were left to lick their wounds. Portimão had everything you could ask for—pure racing gold. 🔥
2. Americas GP: Maverick’s Redemption Arc
Everything’s bigger in Texas, and the Americas GP was no exception! 🇺🇸 Pedro Acosta grabbed the lead early on, but Jorge Martin wasn’t having it, and the pair duked it out in style. Not to be left out, Marc Marquez and Jack Miller were battling so fiercely, they might as well have swapped bike parts! 🛣
Just as it seemed Marquez was ready to break his winless streak, disaster struck at Turn 11. Enter Maverick Viñales, who stormed to victory after starting in P11. That’s how you make history, folks—winning with three different manufacturers in MotoGP. #RacingRoyalty 🏆
3. Spanish GP: The Jerez Showdown
Jerez never disappoints, does it? 🌇✨ Marc Marquez leapt off the line from pole like a man possessed, only for Bagnaia to hit back with a daring double overtake on Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi. 💪
A late mistake from Martin saw him crash out, setting the stage for an epic duel between Bagnaia and Marquez. In the end, the Italian’s cool head won out, leaving Marquez to settle for second. It was tactical brilliance at its best, and we were on the edge of our seats. 🙌
4. French GP: Viva La Drama at Le Mans
Le Mans turned up the heat, serving us one of the most exciting weekends of the year. Jorge Martin was untouchable, sweeping both the Sprint and the Grand Prix to pocket a perfect 37 points. 🌱✨
The last lap, though, was absolute mayhem. Martin, Bagnaia, and Marquez were locked in a fierce battle. In the end, Martin emerged victorious, with Marquez pulling off a bold move at Turn 9 to take second. The crowd went wild, and so did we. 🎧
5. Australian GP: Marquez’s Masterstroke at Phillip Island
Phillip Island is the stuff of legends, and 2024’s Australian GP was no different. Marc Marquez’s race began in disaster when a rogue visor tear-off got lodged in his rear tyre, dropping him to P13. But you can never count out the eight-time champ. 🌌
Marquez fought tooth and nail, slicing through the field to challenge Martin and Bagnaia. With three laps to go, he made his decisive move at Turn 4 and powered home for his third win of the season. That’s what we call a masterclass in determination. #NeverGiveUp 🙌⚡
