Francesco Bagnaia wins the Spanish MotoGP after an epic battle against Marc Marquez.
Unlike the sprint, Marc Marquez made the perfect start from pole as he led from MotoGP series leader Jorge Martin .
Bagnaia held strong until the end of lap two when he got his braking wrong at the final corner, which gave Martin top spot.Contact was made with Johann Zarco coming through turn five which resulted in Acosta having to sit up before losing several positions.Zarco was part of another incident, however, this time it ended as a crash as Aleix Espargaro took down the Honda rider in his own crash.
A new fastest lap of the race was then set by Marquez as the eight-time world champion was putting the hammer down to catch Bagnaia.
