MotoGP: Martin wins San Marino

Spain's Jorge Martin of the Ducati Pramac team extended his lead over Italy's double world champion Francesco Bagnaia at the top of the MotoGP standings to 26 points by winning the sprint race at the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix on Saturday.
    Ducati factory team rider Bagnaia came second in the 13-lap sprint at Misano Adriatico.
    Bagnaia will start Sunday's main event in pole position after clocking the fastest time in qualifying earlier on Saturday.
    The 27-year-old, who is carrying several injuries he suffered in a crash at last weekend's Aragon Grand Prix, will be joined by fellow Italians Franco Morbidelli of the Ducati Pramac team and Marco Bezzecchi of the Ducati VR46 team on the front row of the grid.
    Martin will start in the second row in fourth place.
