10 things we learned from the 2023 MotoGP Valencia Grand Prix

Image
The 2023 MotoGP season came down to a dramatic finale at the Valencia Grand Prix, with Francesco Bagnaia emerging as world champion. The gap between Bagnaia and Jorge Martin was 21 points coming into the weekend, and only 14 by the start of the grand prix. But a crash for Martin ended his hopes and seemingly those of his hopes of stepping up to the factory team. Bagnaia didn't need to, but he won his seventh grand prix of the season to become the first Ducati rider ever to win back-to-back titles. Marc Marquez was caught up in the crash that ended Martin's championship, but it didn't dampen his farewell weekend with Honda having achieved a sprint podium on the Saturday. However, Marquez earned the ire of Marco Bezzecchi after their lap one clash, which led to the raging VR46 rider calling at Marquez the "dirtiest rider" to set up a bit of an intra-Ducati rivalry going into 2024 when the eight-time world champion joins Gresini. Th

MotoGP Valencia GP: Bagnaia wins title after Martin crashes into Marquez

Bagnaia and Martin came into the championship decider in Valencia split by 14 points after the latter won the sprint on Saturday. Ducati rider Bagnaia only needed to finish fifth to seal the deal, and started from pole following a penalty for poleman Maverick Vinales after he ignored the meatball flag in warm-up for a technical issue. Bagnaia took the lead off the line, with Martin launching up to second from sixth into Turn 2 on the opening lap. The pair ran close until Martin ran off at Turn 1 when he outbraked himself at the start of lap three, sending him down to eighth. On lap six it all ended for Martin when he collided with Honda's Marc Marquez on the eight-time world champion's final appearance for the team while battling for fifth. Martin tapped the rear of the Honda as he tried to overtake at Turn 4, sending Marquez into a nasty highside while the Pramac rider went down himself. Bagnaia cannot be beaten in the championship, making

Amazon to win unconditional EU nod for iRobot deal

BRUSSELS:    Amazon is set to win unconditional EU antitrust approval for its $1.4 billion acquisition of robot vacuum maker iRobot, three people familiar with the matter said on Thursday. Antitrust enforcers around the world have stepped up scrutiny of Big Tech acquiring smaller rivals, concerned about the accumulation of troves of data by a few companies and big players leveraging their dominance into new markets. The European Commission, which acts as the EU's com Pet ition watchdog, warned Amazon in July that the deal could reduce com Pet ition in robot vacuum cleaners and reinforce the U.S. company's dominant position as an online marketplace provider.

The deal announced in August would add iRobot's Roomba robot vacuum to U.S. online retail giant Amazon's portfolio of smart devices, includes the Alexa voice assist
