Aprilia's Jorge Martin won the French Grand Prix from seventh on the ⁠grid on Sunday to give the Spaniard his first MotoGP race win since 2024, the year he won the championship.

Martin overtook race leader Marco ⁠Bezzecchi with three laps ⁠to go and ⁠the victory moved him to within one point ⁠of his Aprilia teammate in the battle for the riders' championship.

Ai Ogura came in third ⁠for Aprilia's satellite team Trackhouse to give the Italian manufacturer a podium sweep for the first time in history.

Ducati's reigning champion Marc Marquez missed the race ⁠after fracturing his foot in Saturday's sprint crash, with the Spaniard also sitting out next weekend's Catalan Grand Prix as he requires ⁠surgery. (Reuters)
