Francesco Bagnaia Secures Second Consecutive MotoGP Championship with Valencia GP Win

Bagnaia's victory comes after closest contender Jorge Martin crashes out, marking a disappointing end to Marc Marquez's tenure at Honda.

Francesco Bagnaia of Ducati Lenovo Team won the season-ending Valencia Grand Prix, securing his second consecutive MotoGP world championship.
Closest contender Jorge Martin of Pramac Racing, who was 14 points behind Bagnaia going into the final race, crashed out after a collision with Marc Marquez.
Martin's crash marked a disappointing end to six-time MotoGP champion Marquez's tenure at Honda, as his final race for the Japanese manufacturers ended in a non-finish.
KTM's Jack Miller led the race for a significant period after overtaking Bagnaia in the 15th lap, but crashed hard in the 20th lap, clearing the way for Bagnaia.
Bagnaia had to hold off Gresini Racing's Fabio Di Giannantonio and Pramac Racing's Johann Zarco, who finished second and third respectively.
