Moto GP: Marco Bezzecchi wins inaugural Indian Grand Prix

The race was shortened by three laps to 21 because of hot and humid conditions during practice sessions

Italian Marco Bezzecchi cruised to victory with a dominant display at the inaugural Indian Grand Prix on Sunday.

World championship leader Francesco Bagnaia, who was second at the time, crashed with eight laps to go.

Bezzecchi started the race in pole position and led for the vast majority.

Bezzecchi is third overall 44 points behind Bagnaia.

Martin held off Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo who finished third following a tense battle on the final lap.
