Jorge Martin clinched victory in the sprint race at the San Marino MotoGP, extending his championship lead over Francesco Bagnaia to 26 points. Despite Bagnaia's pole position with a record lap and a front-row lockout for Ducati, Martin's consistent pace secured his win. Bagnaia, still recovering from injuries, praised his bike's performance despite finishing second in the sprint. Marc Marquez had a mixed weekend, setting competitive times in practice but crashing in qualifying, which relegated him to ninth on the grid. The final qualifying session saw an all-Italian Ducati front row, with Franco Morbidelli and Marco Bezzecchi joining Bagnaia. Tech3 rookie Pedro Acosta and KTM's Brad Binder also showed strong performances throughout the weekend.
