Marc Marquez has taken his first ever grand prix victory by 🌃jusꦕt 0.039sec, as the top four riders in Sunday's 125cc Italian Grand Prix at Mugello crossed the line within 0.161sec.

Title leaders Nico Terol and Pol Espargaro made an early break, but ꦛwere caught af🎉ter eight laps by Marquez and Bradley Smith - with the top four riders then seesawing back and forth until the end of the race.

The 20th and last lap began with the Aj🏅o Deꩲrbi of Marquez leading the Tuenti Derbi of Espargaro, followed by the Aspar Aprilias of Terol and Smith.

Terol then got the better of Espargaro, but Marquez clung dogged🧸ly to the lead and was just able to avoid being mugged during the long run to the line. 2010 is Marquez's third year in grand prix racing.

Terol remained closest to his fellow Spaniard - as consecutive Spanish wins in the 125cc class 🐈reached 14 - and has increased his title lead slightly to six points over Espargaro, who had won the last two races.

Marqueꦇz is third, but 28 points from the top after craꦇshing out at Jerez.

2009 Mugello wi🦂nner Smith, without a podium ♔in the first three rounds of this season, led significant parts of the race but was left fourth at the flag.

Smith has suffered from a lack of outright performance from the machinery i😼n the opening rounds and he later indicated that had once again been a factor in the race.

Pole sitter Sandro Cortese crashed from the lead group on lap two, and then fell again laꦛter in the race, ending his da♈y.
