ÁLEX MÁRQUEZ STAGES STRONG FIGHTBACK AT JEREZ

Álex Márquez fought back well on race day to claim a solid points finish in Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuito de Jerez. Starting from the eighth row, the LCR Honda CASTROL rider battled hard throughout his first home race of the 2022 MotoGP season and eventually claimed a respectable 13^th position.

The Spaniard looked impressive in the warm-up session as he went 11^th fastest and got away to a good start as he made up six places on the opening lap of the race. He’d moved into the points positions by lap five and then showed good consistency to consolidate 13^th spot, finishing just ahead of compatriot Maverick Viñales.
