Marc Marquez (Ducati) continued his roll at Misano … right to the top of the championship standings.
Marc took the win in Saturday’s Sprint, with pole sitter (and new lap record holder) Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) finishing second and Jorge Martin (Aprilia) third.
Sunday’s main event looked to be another scrap between Marc Marquez and Bezzecchi, but it didn’t turn out that way. After taking the holeshot and pushing the pace hard on the first lap, Bezzecchi low-sided (unhurt) and that battle ended. Marc inherited the lead and held it to the finish line over his brother Alex (Ducati) in second place and KTM’s Pedro Acosta in third.
Marc Marquez is now tied on points in the championship with Martin, but Marquez assumes the championship lead with more wins under his belt. The series continues next weekend in Austria.
