Di Giannantonio wins Catalan MotoGP after multiple red flags

sportsMay 17, 202633106

Fabio Di Giannantonio was declared the winner of the Catalan Grand Prix after the race was stopped twice for heavy crashes. The race saw two red flags following multiple pileups, and Álex Márquez was taken to hospital for further checks. Pedro Acosta, Johann Zarco and Enea Bastianini were among the riders who failed to finish after collisions. Di Giannantonio's points haul alters the championship standings and the stoppages with a hospital transfer put rider safety at the forefront ahead of upcoming rounds such as Adelaide.

Cancel this race. Just cancel it. It's just a race. Riders first. #MotoGP #CatalanGP

The race is in shambles. They’re going to be down multiple riders for the next race because of this stupidity and they‘re not done with this lunacy yet!

But, but, #Dorna and #LibertyMedia need profits. 😬

I have seen the accidents in the #MotoGP #CatalanGP, and it is a miracle that nobody was killed in each of them. Truly horrendous. Now imagine that, on a street circuit. Adelaide is going to be a disaster, and all because Liberty are chasing the dollar signs. Unconscionable.

No surprises there given the shortened race and the it being a leading group of EVERYONE, nearly a third of the field is under tyre pressure investigations. #MotoGP

This isn't a good look for #motogp Lots of people around me are already leaving... I don't think you'd get many complaints if they just ended the race now

I posted recently about penalties being well deserved for ANY rider backing off in a live session. Crafar is doing well to smack them hard, and I hope he keeps it up until they learn. THIS is why. When shit happens, it can happen fast. Fingers crossed for all the riders 🤞🤞🤞 #MotoGP #CatalanGP

Not sure I’ve ever enjoyed a race less. Still feel a bit sick. Absolutely bloody horrible crash, sketchy decision making, let’s not do that again. #motogp
