    Marc Marquez won the 2019 Spanish Grand Prix



    Reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez dominated the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez, ahead of compatriots Alex Rins of Suzuki and Maverick Vinales of Yamaha. Marquez became the first repeat winner of the 2019 campaign.


    Marquez led from start to finish and went top of the MotoGP world standings with his victory after a fall last time out in the United States


    Marquez of Honda grabbed the lead off the line and swiftly escaped from the chasing pack, his job made easier when rookie Fabio Quartararo – who had succeeded him as MotoGP's youngest-ever poleman on Sunday – retired out of second place with a mechanical issue.

    Having locked out the top two in qualifying, the Petronas Yamaha riders were immediately passed by Marquez off the line – and looked set to drop behind Andrea Dovizioso too.



    "It was tougher mentally than physically," said Marquez, known for his flat-out approach that he struggles to contain when ordered to restrain his rider wilder instincts.


    Having won two of the four GPs so far this season he tops the early running in the world championship standings with 70 points, one more than Alex Rins on 69 while Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso is third on 67 and the veteran Italian Valentino Rossi sits fourth on 61.
