The six-time MotoGP champion's last victory came in Emilia-Romagna more than 1,000 days ago.

Marquez's brother Alex and championship hopeful Francesco Bagnaia crashed out together on lap 19 of the 23-lap race.
Marc Marquez, who celebrated his win with a victory lap and impromptu dance in front of his supporters, moved third in the championship standings.
He trails Martin by 70 points, while double champion Bagnaia is now 23 points behind in second.
