In the MotoGP class, Jorge Martín, riding for the satellite Ducati team Prima Pramac Racing, clinched the Riders' Championship during the main race.[1] He became the first rider since Valentino Rossi in 2001 and the first overall during the MotoGP era to win the Riders' Championship with a satellite team.[2]
Background
editFollowing the cancellation of the Valencian Community Grand Prix,[3][4] due to flooding in the region caused by cold drop, which was to be held on the weekend of 15–17 November 2024 as the last round of the championship, organizers of the MotoGP World Championship decided to create the Barcelona Solidarity Grand Prix under the motto "Racing for Valencia".[5] Proceeds of the event were to be donated to Valencian flood victims.[6]
MotoGP Sprint
