Marc Marquez Wins 11th MotoGP Race, Nears Seventh World Title

Marc Marquez secured his 11th MotoGP victory of the season at the San Marino Grand Prix, narrowing in on his seventh world title. After crashing out of the lead in Saturday's sprint, Marquez started from the second row and overtook Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi on lap 12 when Bezzecchi made a small mistake at turn eight, maintaining the lead to the finish. This win moved Marquez to a record 512 points for a single MotoGP season and gave him a 182-point lead over his rivals, putting him in strong position to clinch the title at the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix. Marquez expressed the extra focus and energy he gained from his earlier mistake, emphasizing the importance of winning both Italian GPs for Ducati. His brother Alex Marquez finished third, while Bezzecchi held second place. With six races remaining, Marquez needs only to outscore his brother by three points in Japan to secure the championship.
