MotoGP in Malaysia
Marquez wins ahead of Acosta, drama for Bagnaia
MotoGP runner-up Alex Marquez has won the Malaysian Grand Prix in the absence of his brother Marc. KTM rider Pedro Acosta finished in second place behind the Gresini rider, with Joan Mir (Honda) in third. Sprint winner Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati), who was running in third place with just a few laps to go, was thwarted by a defect.
Marquez caught Bagnaia on the second lap and went on to take a commanding victory. "I was smart enough at that moment to go on the attack and be aggressive when I needed to. I saw the situation and knew that was the key," said Marquez, who had crashed twice on Friday. In addition to Acosta, Enea Bastianini (7th) and Brad Binder (9th) also scored points for KTM. Marc Marquez, who was already crowned world champion, has already ended his season due to injury.

All-clear after serious collision in Moto3
Meanwhile, Moto3 was overshadowed by a serious collision. Swiss rider Noah Dettwiler had to be flown to hospital by helicopter. Before the start of the race, Dettwiler appeared to have a problem with his KTM and was riding slowly at the side of the track when world champion Jose Antonio Rueda crashed into the back of him with full force.
According to official reports, both riders are conscious. KTM race manager Jens Hainbach gave the all-clear, saying that Rueda had "a severe concussion and possibly a broken bone in his hand, but apparently nothing really dramatic," said Hainbach on ServusTV.
