The MotoGP Sprint was held on 15 March.
At the start, Marc Márquez kept his lead despite a good getaway from ÃÂlex Márquez. Francesco Bagnaia, who had taken third at the start, tried to pass the younger Márquez at turn 5, but ran wide and was re-passed by the Gresini rider. Further back, Aprillia's Marco Bezzecchi outbraked himself going into turn 1, clipping Fabio Quartararo's Yamaha and retiring from the race. The only other crash came on lap 2, when Raúl Fernández pushed Enea Bastianini off the track; this earned Fernández a long lap penalty, Bastianini continued with a damaged bike.
Further ahead, ÃÂlex Márquez took the lead away from Marc on lap 4 as the latter ran wide through turn 1. The Ducati rider stayed behind for the majority of the race, despite attempting to pass the #73 on lap 18, before slipstreaming past his brother on lap 21. The elder Márquez eventually won by 1.3 seconds from ÃÂlex, as Franco Morbidelli, who had passed Bagnaia for third early on through the use of a soft rear tyre, held on to his first podium placing since the 2021 Spanish Grand Prix. Marc Márquez, who pulled off his second successive sprint and GP win double, later claimed that his brother was now his "main opponent" for the title.
Following the race, eighth-placed Ai Ogura was disqualified for running a non-homologated ECU software.
Notes
Jake Dixon took the holeshot at the start and passed polesitter Manuel González, whilst Adrián Huertas became the only lap 1 casualty after sliding off at turn 2. Dixon's VDS teammate, Filip SalaÃÂ, progressed up to third in the opening laps. At the end of the back straight on lap 2, Salaàpassed González for second, though the Spaniard retook the place less than two laps later. Whilst Arón Canet and Marcos RamÃÂrez fought for fourth and Diogo Moreira pitted with a mechanical problem, Dixon was able to eek out an advantage until the race's midpoint.
On lap 11, Salaàand RamÃÂrez tangled at turn 5 during an overtaking attempt by the Boscoscuro rider, who exited the race; this collision allowed the battling duo of Canet and Celestino Vietti to pass RamÃÂrez. Canet made an error two laps later that resulted in Vietti taking third place. Despite a later mistake by the Italian, which briefly allowed Canet to get past, he eventually took third with a block pass, as Dixon scored a dominant first win of the season ahead of González. Canet and RamÃÂrez completed the top five.
González retained the championship lead, sitting 11 points ahead of race winner Dixon and a further point clear of Canet.
