Bagnaia takes sixth sprint win of the season
Francesco Bagnaia has won the MotoGP sprint at the Japanese Grand Prix in Motegi. It was the sixth win of the season for the Italian on Ducati over the shortened distance and he came out on top ahead of team-mate and compatriot Enea Bastianini.
Bagnaia also benefited from the retirement of KTM hopeful Pedro Acosta, who had started from pole position for the first time. The young Spaniard crashed four laps from the end while leading.
Martin moved closer
Bagnaia made up some ground on the leading Spaniard Jorge Martin in the world championship standings, who still has a 15-point lead. Martin, who only started from eleventh on the grid after a crash in qualifying, limited the damage with fourth place behind Spaniard Marc Marquez. Australian Jack Miller finished eighth on his KTM.
