Jorge Martín, after winning the sprint race, commented that "it was a stressful race". "The track was complicated, but I understood it immediately.

Oh baby a triple! ✅

MotoGP grid for 2024
This past week has seen two changes in the MotoGP market with the departure of Franco Morbidelli who leaves Yamaha five years later and signs for Pramac Ducati, after Zarco will leave that seat vacant.
It has also been confirmed that Japanese rider Takaaki Nakagami will remain with the Honda RC213V. In the Japanese team there is a decision that can move the whole market and is the future of Marc Marquez who has confirmed that he will clarify it between India and Japan where the doubts that he will remain at Honda are more than questioned by the performance of the bike this year.
Right now there are only two places left to fill on the grid which are the GasGas Factory Racing where Pol Espargaró is already confirmed, but a second rider is missing and also the Gresini Racing MotoGP with Álex Márquez and with the doubt of whether his brother Marc will be his teammate that will be resolved in the coming days.
This is the current state of the grid for 2024:
Circuit
The race will be held at the Buddh International Circuit, located in Greater Noida. It was inaugurated on October 18, 2011 and has a capacity for 110,000 spectators. It has a length of 5'137 kilometers and 16 turns.
Indian Grand Prix
Two weeks later after the San Marino Grand Prix, the Spanish Motocycling World Championship returns, where it will be the first time that the MotoGP riders race at this track. Bagnaia arrives to this new appointment as leader of the World Championship, although he has seen his advantage reduced in the last weekend. Right now the Italian has a lead of 36 points over Jorge Martin and 65 more than his compatriot Marco Bezzecchi.
