21 Spanish triplets already with Maverick, Mir and Pol
There are already 21 triplets accumulated by Spanish motorcycling in MotoGP, the last thanks to the Emila Romagna GP conquered by Maverick Viñales, Joan Mir and Pol Espargaró, who although he crossed the finish line fourth, inherited third place due to the three-second penalty to Quartararo for stepping on green. The Frenchman was told on the penultimate lap that he had to do a Long Lap Penalty, a long penalty lap, and, as he did not do so, he was punished once the race was over with three seconds. Previously, on lap 22 he had already received a warning, a warning, and in the end he facilitated the Spanish triplet.
This extensive list began on October 14, 2012, with the first of the triplets by Pedrosa, Lorenzo and Bautista at the Japanese GP. Almost eight years after that first time at the Motegi circuit, there are already 21, with Márquez always present in the previous 19, either as winner (9 times), second (8) or third (2) .
