Marc Marquez survived a first-lap collision with his brother Alex to win the Qatar MotoGP on Sunday, for a seventh victory in eight races this season.

Luckily for both of us we stayed on the bike, said Marc Marquez.

Alex Marquez ran into the back of his brothers Ducati at the second corner. Marc Marquez lost ground but recovered to finish 1.8sec ahead of Spaniard Maverick Vinales on a KTM.

Vinales was later penalised for illegal tyre pressure, promoting Francesco Bagnaia, on a factory Ducati, to second and Franco Morbidelli, on a Ducati VR46, to third.
