Marc Marquez won the MotoGP World Championship Tissot Sprint Race Saturday at MotorLand Aragon, in Spain.
Riding his Gresini Racing Ducati Desmosedici on Michelin control tires, the six-time MotoGP World Champion won the 11-lap race by nearly three seconds. It was Marquez’s career-first MotoGP Sprint Race victory.
Jorge Martin was the runner-up on his Prima Pramac Racing Ducati.
Rookie sensation Pedro Acosta finished third on his Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 machine 6.6 seconds behind Marquez.
Two-time and defending World Champion Francesco Bagnaia was ninth, earning him just one point. This resulted in Martin moving past Bagnaia and into the World Championship point lead.
