In a sensational display of skill and determination, Gresini Racing's Alex Marquez emerged victorious at the Catalan Grand Prix sprint on Saturday.

The race concluded with Marquez narrowly edging past pole sitter Pedro Acosta in what has now been recorded as the closest sprint finish in MotoGP history.

Marquez's win comes as a personal vindication after crashing out in a similar sprint last season at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Jorge Martin is close behind, setting the stage for a highly competitive Sunday's race.
