He wins in front of the world champion Fabio Quartararo, third place for Aleix Espargaro with a very competitive Aprilia after a fight until the last lap with a Marc Marquez who finished fourth, but still subdued, Jack Miller fifth. Very nice race also for Enea Bastianini who finished eighth overtaking Bezzecchi, ninth. For the second year in a row, Ducati takes victory at the Circuito de Jerez - Angel Nieto, stage today of the Spanish GP, the sixth round of the 2022 MotoGP World Championship. After Jack Miller's victory last year, this time, it was Francesco Bagnaia (second in 2021) who took the Desmosedici GP to the top step of the podium, proving to be the absolute dominator of the Andalusian weekend.
The Ducati Lenovo Team rider took a record-breaking pole position yesterday, and in today's GP, he imposed himself again, taking the lead at the first corner. Bagnaia was then able to maintain an incredible pace, managing the advantage over Fabio Quartararo until the finish line. It was Bagnaia's fifth victory in MotoGP and his first in the premier class this year. Thanks to today's result, the Italian rider moves up to fifth in the overall standings, which sees him 33 points behind leader Quartararo.

Jack Miller also had a good performance as he crossed the line fifth. After starting from 4th on the grid, the Australian rider immediately moved into third place, but towards the end of the race, he was overtaken first by Márquez and then by Aleix Espargaro. Miller then started a fierce duel with Márquez for fourth place, in which the Spaniard got the better of him. After the Spanish GP, Jack is eleventh in the Championship, 47 points behind the leader, while Ducati still leads the constructors' standings by 42 points.

"I am moved. The first victory last year at Aragon was certainly very important, but today's was even more beautiful and much more difficult. We come from a tough period in which, for various reasons, we have never been able to show our real potential, but here I knew that we were in the right conditions to do well. We have been working hard since Qatar, and finally, today, we arrived ready for the race. I pushed really hard and lapped consistently throughout the 25 laps. I'm proud of the work that has been done, not only with my team, which I thank but also at home with the Academy and my family!"
Luigi Dall'Igna (General Manager of Ducati Corse)
"Pecco did an incredible race, and this victory definitely has several meanings. After yesterday's amazing qualifying, it was important to do well again today. I'm sure he could have done well in Portugal too, but it was great to see him on form and fight for the win again. We are delighted because today, we were finally able to show the true potential of our bike. Jack also had a good race, and until five laps from the end, he was fighting for the podium. Congratulations again to Pecco, and thanks to all the Ducati Corse staff for their work!"
