Marc Marquez brushed off Valentino Rossi’s early challenge before riding to his fourth win in as many races this season at the Spain MotoGP on Sunday.
The defending world champion, who set a track record in qualifying at the Jerez Circuit on Saturday, pushed his Honda through the 4.42-kilometer track to claim his 10th career title in the top category.
Rossi had the fastest start to jump from fourth on the grid to first, but his lead was short lived as Marquez quickly passed him.
Rossi finished second on his Yamaha, while Marquez’s teammate Dani Pedrosa completed the podium ahead of Jorge Lorenzo in fourth.
