The opening race showcased a captivating ride of Gresini Ducati's Marc Marquez who finished fourth. Pedro Acosta, riding for the Tech3 GasGas, secured ninth place but not without getting on the cusp of the podium at one point.
Last year at the MotoGP Portuguese Grand Prix, Francesco Bagnaia emerged victorious in a dramatic sprint race weekend. Unfortunately, his teammate Enea Bastianini suffered a shoulder blade injury in a fatal crash with Luca Marini. The Algarve circuit was filled with thrillers when Ducati's Marc Marquez and KTM's Miguel Oliveira went on wheels to wheels.
