Marc Marquez has taken 25 points out of Marco Bezzecchi's title lead after the reigning champion's first victory of the season was combined with a nightmare Aprilia-on-Aprilia Turn 1 collision.

Bezzecchi was hit by team-mate and nearest title rival Jorge Martin - with third in the world championship Fabio di Giannantonio, Raul Fernandez and Fermin Aldeguer, also taken out.

Diggia rejoined at the back and fought his way to tenth, but is now just six points clear of Pedro Acosta after the KTM rider's runner-up finish to Marquez.

Ai Ogura and podium finisher Francesco Bagnaia move ahead of Fernandez...
