Marquez triumph

HONDA’S Marc Marquez has won his fourth MotoGP world championship in five years after the Spaniard’s only rival Andrea Dovizioso crashed out of a dramatic season-ending race in Valencia, Spain. The 24year-old, who started on pole position with a 21-point lead and also almost fell, finished third and safe in the knowledge that he was the sport’s youngest fourtimes champion in the top category. Compatriot and teammate Dani Pedrosa won the race with French rookie Johann Zarco second.
