Marc Marquez wins chaotic rain-hit Spanish MotoGP sprint in Jerez, extending title push as rivals crash out and fail to score

REIGNING champion Marc Marquez triumphed in a chaotic and rain-lashed Spanish MotoGP sprint on Saturday in Jerez.

The Spanish Ducati rider, bidding for a record-equalling eighth world title, started on pole and despite crashing finished ahead of Francesco Bagnaia and Franco Morbidelli for his 17th sprint victory.

Overall leader Marco Bezzecchi started poorly and later crashed out, failing to score any points, with Jorge Martin and Pedro Acosta, second and third overall, also not adding to their tallies.
