The six-time MotoGP champion, whose last Grand Prix win was back in 2021, completed a dream weekend after claiming yesterday’s sprint by an equally wide margin on his Ducati satellite Gresini bike.

He took the chequered flag by almost five seconds from Jorge Martin with Pedro Acosta in third.

Marquez then did a victory lap hopping off his bike to kiss the ground and perform an impromptu dance in front of his ecstatic supporters.

Martin leads the riders standings by 23 points after double world champion Francesco Bagnaia crashed out, five laps from the line.
