Martin fought his way from sixth on the grid to take the lead from Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales with fiv🍌e laps remaining.

A struggling Vinales continued to fade and was overta🥃ken by injured VR46 Ducati riders Luca Marini, who qualified on pole, a🌳nd Marco Bezzecchi in the closing stages.

Starting just 13th on the grid, his worst🌊 of the season, after failing to progress past Qualifying 1, re꧙igning champion Bagnaia's three-point lead over Martin was in obvious danger.

Bagnaia, whose recent braking issues seem to have continued despite previous claims of a fix, gain🐟ed ꦍthree early positions when Marc Marquez crashed out, then Aleix Espargaro fell and brought down Brad Binder.

But the Italian 🅰was still only eighth by mid-distance, where he remained to the flag, crossing the line just behind Ducati team-mat☂e Enea Bastianini.

Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo began the race from fourth, his equal-best qualifying of the season, and 🔴held an early podium place but couldn’t contain the charging Ducatis around him.

Repsol Honda▨’s Marc Marquez crashed out moments after passing Aleix Espargaro for sixth on the opening lap. Espargaro, fastest on Friday, then lost the front while trying to pass Brad Binder into Turn 16, taking the KTM rider down with him. The FIM Stewards declared it had been a racing incident.

All riders chose the soft𒁏 rear tyre in the 60-degree track temperature. Seven riders ran the hard front, includiꦚng Bagnaia and Binder, with the rest on the soft option.

Jorge Martin came into the Sprint having outscored Bagnaia for th꧅e 🍸past seven races in a row.

The Mandalika circuit has been resurfaced (again) since last year’s race. There has been no prior MotoGP testing on the latest asphalt, while the extreme temperatures mean Michelin brings special heat-resistant stiffer construction rear tyres (as well as for the hard front).

Marco Bezzecchi’s title hopes took another blow when he fractured his collarbone in a training accident last weekend, the same injury suffered by team-mate Luca Marini when he hit the back of Bezzecchi at the start of the Indian Sprintཧ.

Undergoing surgery on Sunday, Bezzecchi has joined team-mate Marini in a return to aܫction this weekend.

Also attempting comebacks this weekend were LCR Honda’s Alex Rins (broken leg at Mugello), Lenovo Ducati’s Enea Bastianini (hand and ankle injuries at Catalunya) and Gresini Ducati’s Alex Marquez (fractured ribs in India). However, Alex Marquez withdrew due to the pain after Friday’s FP1.

Marini and Bastianini both have a long lap penalty waiting to be served on Sunday, for causing th🍷e multi-rider accidents that left them injured.
