Motorcycling-Alex Marquez wins Malaysia MotoGP ahead of Acosta and Mir

SEPANG, Oct 26 (Reuters) – Gresini Racing's Alex Marquez won the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday, with the Spaniard finishing ahead of KTM's Pedro Acosta and Honda's Joan Mir, to claim his third victory of the season. Marquez, who secured the championship runner-up spot with his sprint result on Saturday, delivered a faultless ride in sweltering conditions at the Sepang International Circuit, adding to his two Grand Prix wins in Spain. Ducati's Francesco Bagnaia, who started on pole and won Saturday's sprint, was forced to retire three laps from the end due to a suspected technical issue while running third, allowing 2020 world champion Mir to claim third place, his second podium finish of the year. Marquez crossed the line in 40:09.249, 2.676 seconds clear of Acosta, and 8.048 seconds ahead of Mir. World champion Marc Marquez, Alex's brother, remains sidelined through injury.
