Jorge Martin held the lead from the start to win the sprint race at India’s debut MotoGP on Saturday and close the gap on championship leader Francesco Bagnaia.
Ducati-Pramac rider Martin started second on the grid and jumped into the lead, while a crash on the first corner saw Marco Bezzecchi slip back from pole position.
