Ducati's Francesco Bagnaia extended his lead at the top of the world championship by winning the sprint race at the Italian Grand Prix on Saturday while his title rival and closest contender Marco Bezzecchi finished second.
It was Bagnaia's third sprint win of the season, while he has made the podium in five of the six sprints. Gresini Ducati's Alex Marquez started on the front row but his race lasted barely a few seconds until Brad Binder nudged him on turn one, causing the Spaniard to lose his balance and crash. Binder received a long-lap penalty as a result.
Alex's brother Marc Marquez started well to stay behind pole sitter Bagnaia but he was soon overtaken by both the Pramac Ducatis and the two VR46 Racing riders, dropping down to seventh when Jack Miller also got past him on the Red Bull KTM.
