Spanish world champion Marc Marquez made it six wins from six races this season after claiming victory in the Italian MotoGP in thrilling style at Mugello on Sunday.
The 21-year-old Honda rider, who has also recorded six successive pole positions this season, edged out compatriot and two-time world champion Jorge Lorenzo on a Yamaha after a engrossing duel for over half the race.
Marquez finally got the better of Lorenzo going into the final lap while Lorenzo’s teammate, 35-year-old Italian great Valentino Rossi, took third spot in what was his 300th Grand Prix.
