Marc Marquez extended his lead in the MotoGP world championship as he beat out title rivals Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo to claim victory at the Aragon Grand Prix on Sunday.

Spain’s Marquez started on pole, but had to overcome a minor error early in the race that saw him briefly slip down to fifth before claiming his fourth win of the season.

Defending champion Lorenzo passed Yamaha teammate Rossi with five laps to go to take second.

Marquez now leads Rossi by 52 points with just four races remaining. Lorenzo is a further 14 points adrift in third.
