Marc Marquez wins San Marino MotoGP to close in on world championship title
"Marquez's latest victory means he can clinch a seventh MotoGP world title at the next race in Japan in a fortnight. Ducati's Marc Marquez resisted a spirited challenge from Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi to win the San Marino Grand Prix on Sunday, taking his revenge after crashing out of the lead in Saturday's sprint, and inching closer to the MotoGP title."
"Today I gave everything I had. It's true that the mistake from yesterday gave me extra concentration, extra power, extra energy, an exhausted Marc Marquez said. I was just there following him [Bezzecchi], trying to push him always super close, because it's impossible to do 27 laps without any mistake. And in the end, he did a small mistake on turn eight, and then I led the race."
"Marquez's 11th race victory of the season takes him to 512 points a record tally for a MotoGP rider in a single season and he celebrated his victory by unzipping his leathers and holding his red suit up on the podium like a matador. Gresini Racing's Alex Marquez finished a distant third, and brother Marc, with a 182-point lead, can clinch his seventh title at the Japanese Grand Prix this month."
