Ducati's polesitter Marc Marquez overcame a botched start to win the Italian Grand Prix sprint ahead of his brother Alex and team mate Francesco Bagnaia on Saturday to maintain his dominance in the shorter format this season.

MotoGP legend Marc Marquez proved his ability and won the Italian GP Sprint race after losing position at the start of the race in Mugello. The Spanish rider was pushed to P3 on the opening lap, but he later rescued himself with a brilliant overtake of Alex and Bagnaia together and kept his lead throughout the race.
