Bagnaia lined up second on the grid, behind Aprilia’s Maverick ൩Vinales and ahead of Martin’s team-mate 🔜Johann Zarco.

Martin started directly behind Zarco, at the tail of the second row in sixth, setting up the likelihood that꧃ Sprint-ace Martin would go ‘bar-to-‘bar with Bagnaia sooner or later.

That duel happened after less than a lap.

Martin sliced under Bagnaia for second behind Vinales at Turn 11, B🅷agnaia responding by standing the Pramac rider up on the exit.

But the tangle allowed Marc Marquez and Brad Binder to pass the pair and while Martin set off in pursuit of the three riders ahꦕead, Bagnaia soon had riders queueing up behind him in fifth.

Fabio Quartararo crashed out while༺ trying to pass Bagnaia at Turn 6 while at the front Vinales, Binder, Martin (now third) and Marc Marquez were nosಌe to tail.

Binder sent his KTM under Vinales for the lead on lap 6 but Vinales responded. Binder made it stick a lap later, while Marquez began threatening Martin - brushing the𒐪 #89's shoulder with his front 𒐪wheel!

Martin took the hint and passed V💮inales into Tu🔯rn 1, with Marquez demoting the Aprilia soon after.

Binder✱ gifted the lead to Martin when he ran wide on lap 8 but chased Martin to the flag, while Bagnaia dug in for a damage-limitation ride.

In a repeat of last weekend’s Qatar race, Bagnaia had Gresini’s di Giannantonio crawling all over his ♍rear wheel🍨 by the closing stages.

But would di Giannant𒅌onio, expected to be confirmed as a VR4🐭6 Ducati rider before Tuesday’s test, pass?

The answer was no and Bagnai♈a crossed the line with di Giannantonio and Marco Bezzecchi in his slipstream.

Joan Mir, who underwent checks in hospital after a Friday morning fall, has withdrawn f🌠rom the re💧mainder of the weekend.

Soft, medium and hard tyres were in use forꦜ the Sprint, with Bagnaia choosing medium-medium and Martin medium-soft (rear).

Bagnaia and Martin are among 15 full-time riders🐓 to have received an Official Warning for low tyre pressure. A further breach during either of this weekend’s races would result in a 3-second time penalty, or 6-seconds for Aleix Espargaro, who has offended twice.

Tyre pressure penalties are an🌳nounced severalꦚ hours after the race.

The only ride🦂rs yet to use their low-pressure warning 'joker' are Fabio Quartararo, Takaaki Nakagami, Brad Binder, Joan Mir and Fabio di Giannantonio, plus the returning Alex Rins and absent (through injury) Miguel Oliveira.

The Valenciaไ circuit has been resurfaced ahead of the 2023 event.
