Alex Marquez Injured in Horrific Catalan MotoGP Crash

Today, the Catalan MotoGP was red-flagged twice, first on the 12th lap after a horrific crash involving Alex Marquez, whose Ducati-Gresini was destroyed in the collision.
Pedro Acosta's bike cut out while he led the race, causing him to slow suddenly; Marquez, unable to avoid collision, was thrown off the track at high speed.
Immediately after the restart, a multi-rider collision at the first corner involved Johann Zarco, Francesco Bagnaia, and Luca Marini, triggering a second red flag and hospitalizing Zarco.
The grand prix restarted for a 13-lap race, eventually reduced to 12 laps, as Fabio Giannantonio claimed his first MotoGP win in three years despite hand injuries from crash debris.
Overall leader Marco Bezzecchi extended his championship advantage after rival Jorge Martin suffered his fifth crash of the weekend, while officials investigate several riders for tyre pressure violations.
