MotoGP Australian GP: Martin dominant in sprint, Bagnaia fourth

Jorge Martin converted a dominant pole position into a crushing victory in the Australian Grand Prix sprint race on Saturday.

The world championship leader easily defeated Marc Marquez (Gresini Ducati) and Enea Bastianini (factory Ducati) after leading from lights to flag at Phillip Island.

Martin’s lead over Francesco Bagnaia grew from 10 to 16 points after the factory Ducati rider came home fourth.
