Jorge Martín wins the sprint in Indonesia and leads the MotoGP World Championship

The Spanish Jorge Martín (Ducati-Pramac) won the sprint race of the Indonesian Grand Prix this Saturday and took the lead in the MotoGP World Championship, taking the lead from the Italian Francesco Bagnaia, who placed eighth.

The Italian Luca Marini (Ducati-VR46), who started in pole position, came second, ahead of his compatriot Marco Bezzechhi (Ducati-VR46), who is on the podium just a week after an operation for a broken collarbone.

With 328 points, Martín, who wins his fourth consecutive sprint, surpasses Bagnaia (Ducati) by seven units before the Indonesian Grand Prix that will be held on Sunday (07:00 GMT).

It is the first time that the Spanish driver has taken the lead in the general classification of the World Championship, after Bagnaia and Bezzecchi led it.

Bagnaia, who had started in 13th position in this sprint, will try to recover his time on Sunday.
