Marc Marquez thrilled his home country fans by taking his first full-length MotoGP race victory in nearly three years Sunday at MotorLand Aragon, in Alcaniz, Spain. Riding his Gresini Racing Ducati Desmosedici on Michelin control tires, the six-time MotoGP World Champion started from pole position and won the 23-lap race by nearly five seconds.
Prima Pramac Racing Ducati rider Jorge Martin extended his World Championship point lead with his runner-up finish.
Rookie sensation Pedro Acosta made it an all-Spanish podium by taking third on his Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 machine.
Brad Binder was fourth on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing RC16.
Enea Bastianini brought his Lenovo Ducati home in fifth.
Two-time and defending World Champion Francesco Bagnaia got off to a rough start, and then things only got worse when he had contact with Alex Marquez and they both crashed out of the race.
