Portimao (Portugal): Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia won a red-flagged Algarve MotoGP on Sunday as newly-crowned world champion Fabio Quartararo failed to finish after falling off his Yamaha.
Italian Bagnaia, who had started on pole position for a fifth consecutive race, finished ahead of 2020 world champion Joan Mir of Suzuki and Australian Jack Miller, also on a Ducati.
Starting from a lowly seventh on the grid, Frenchman Quartararo fell five laps from the end of the race on the same circuit where he had won the Portuguese MotoGP in April.
It was the first time this season he had failed to finish.
