Marc Marquez emerged victorious at the San Marino Grand Prix, skilfully handling wet conditions to surpass Francesco Bagnaia. The Spaniard's win came after Jorge Martin's ill-fated choice to change bikes during unpredictable weather, significantly impacting his championship lead.

Marquez's performance was his second win in as many races, following his triumph at the Aragon GP, effectively cutting Ducatic's home-field advantage and pushing him closer to the championship leader.

Both Marquez and Bagnaia navigated the challenging track conditions with strategic prowess, while Martin's decisions twice relegated him to 15th place. The race saw thrilling moments with several riders, including rookie Pedro Acosta and Franco Morbidelli, facing difficulties due to rain and mechanical mishaps.
