MotoGP: Martin’s title charge continues in India

Posted by AR1 staff

History was made on Saturday at the IndianOil Grand Prix of India as Jorge Martin won the first Tissot Sprint on Indian soil, making it three victories in a row for the Spaniard – two Sprints and one GP.

The Pramac rider put on a dominant display to deny Francesco Bagnaia, but the Italian showed his almost customary ability to bounce back from what seemed like a tougher Friday to bank another big haul of points.

Still, the gap was cut once more. Meanwhile in third, it was a welcome return to the Sprint rostrum and a continuation of the positive form so far in India for Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) as the eight-time World Champion held off Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) for P3.
