Marco Bezzecchi claimed his first-ever home sprint victory at Misano, resisting late pressure from Alex Marquez after Marc Marquez crashed out of the lead.
Bezzecchi, starting from pole position, made the most of early battles at the front. Marc Marquez briefly took the lead of the race and looked in control of the sprint until disaster struck.
Having just overtaken Marco Bezzecchi, the Spaniard’s front tyre cried no more at Turn 15 and washed out underneath him.

Bezzecchi, having been promoted back into the lead, controlled the remainder of the race from the front, growing his gap to Alex Marquez to a full second until the end of the sprint.
Marquez had to settle for an uncontested second as Fabio Di Giannantonio held on to third despite pressure from his VR46 teammate Franco Morbidelli in the last two laps.
Pedro Acosta mounted a strong recovery from his qualifying error that left him ninth on the grid, climbing to fifth, just ahead of fellow Murcian Fermin Aldeguer.
Luca Marini brought his Honda home in seventh, while Jorge Martin salvaged eighth after struggling to stay with the front group. Raul Fernandez completed the top nine for Trackhouse.
Pecco Bagnaia endured another miserable outing. A poor start dropped him outside the top ten on lap one, before being picked off steadily through the pack.
Despite two crashes from Fabio Quartararo and Marc Marquez AND a mechanical issue for Brad Binder ahead of him, he crossed the line in a miserable 13th, continuing a slump, which, with Bezzecchi taking home big points, is starting to put his third place in the championship standings under some serious threat.
At a loss to explain what happened 🤷

Further back, Johann Zarco and Ai Ogura rounded out the point-scoring places, while Jack Miller led the Yamahas in 14th. Maverick Viñales and Miguel Oliveira followed, with Alex Rins 17th.
