# Motorsport: Marc Marquez continued his march towards a seventh elite world title by winning Saturday’s sprint race at the Italian MotoGP and extending his lead at the top of the championship. The Spanish great had to battle back from a disastrous start from pole position at Mugello to claim the full 12 points and move 35 points clear of his closest challenger, and brother Alex Marquez. The 32-year-old is already red-hot favourite to draw level with great rival Valentino Rossi on seven world crowns, and move one behind all-time record winner Giacomo Agostini.
