His recent triumph at the Czech Grand Prix saw him extend a comfortable championship lead over his brother Alex, who faced an unfortunate exit after a collision with Honda's Joan Mir.
Francesco Bagnaia, despite starting from pole, yielded early on to Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi, settling eventually for a fourth-place finish. Marquez seized control during the eighth lap, overpowering Bezzecchi and securing a significant 1.753-second lead, marking his eighth race win of the season.
