SEPANG (AFP): Spain's Maverick Vinales stormed to a dominant victory in the Malaysian MotoGP Sunday (Nov 3) as world champion Marc Marquez fought his way from near the back of the starting grid to finish second. The Monster Energy Yamaha rider said the victory felt "amazing" after his disappointing performance in Phillip Island. The 24-year-old surged into an early lead at Sepang after starting second on the grid and never looked threatened. He has now racked up 395, higher than the previous record of 383 held by three-time world champion Jorge Lorenzo. In the Moto2 class, Alex Marquez – Marc's younger brother – was crowned world champion after finishing second in his race Sunday.
