Marc Marquez took a sensational second sprint win of the season in wet conditions
Marc Marquez overcame a crash to triumph in a thrilling flag-to-flag sprint at the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix, where championship leader Marco Bezzecchi failed to finish. This event marked the first flag-to-flag sprint since 2023, with Marquez securing victory by changing to his wet bike in the rain-intensified race. Marquez’s daring pass on Pecco Bagnaia with three laps to go allowed him to reclaim the lead and cross the finish line 3.050s ahead. Bagnaia climbed from 15th to secure a podium spot, while Franco Morbidelli finished third despite starting 18th. Bezzecchi’s race took a disastrous turn due to a tear-off strip causing wheelspin at the start, ultimately leading to his crash after switching to the wet bike. Alex Marquez briefly led the race but crashed due to worsening rain, allowing Marc Marquez to take control and secure his 17th career sprint win.
