SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO, Argentina (Reuters) – Marco Bezzecchi clinched his and VR46 Racing’s maiden MotoGP victory at the Argentina Grand Prix on Sunday to move to the top of the championship standings after he dominated in wet conditions to lead from the first corner to the chequered flag.

Pramac Ducati’s Johann Zarco finished second with a stunning ride while pole sitter Alex Marquez was third on his Gresini Ducati.

Reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia threw away 20 points when he made a mistake and crashed while he was in second place with eight laps left.
