Reigning champion Marquez now has 300 points and a lead of 98 over nearest rival Andrea Dovizioso, who finished second for Ducati at the circuit near Alcaniz.

Australian Jack Miller was third for non-works Pramac Ducati.

The points tally means Marquez will wrap up his fourth successive championship with four races to spare if he wins the next race in Thailand on Oct. 6, regardless of where other riders finish. (Writing by Alan Baldwin in London, editing by Toby Davis)
