Marco Bezzecchi slightly extends his MotoGP title lead over team-mate Jorge Martin after a tough Sprint for both Aprilia riders in Catalunya.

Jorge Martin, who began the race just one point behind Marco Bezzecchi affter a double win at Le Mans, ed while ahead of the Italian.

However, Bezzecchi could only manage ninth place and is only two points ahead of Martin heading into Sunday’s grand prix.

Alex Marquez’s first Sprint win of the season moves the Gresini Ducati rider ahead of absent brother Marc Marquez, who slips further from the top after being ruled out of the Catalunya event due to last weekend’s shoulder and foot surgery.

KTM’s Pedro Acosta lost out to Alex Marquez by just 0.041s in the closest ever Sprint finish, but retakes third in the standings over Fabio di Giannantonio, who completed the podium…
