PORTIMAO, Portugal - Aprilia's Maverick Vinales claimed the first sprint victory of his career at the Portuguese Grand Prix, taking the chequered flag ahead of Marc Marquez and Jorge Martin at the Algarve International Circuit on Saturday.

Championship leader and Francesco Bagnaia looked well set for a comfortable victory when he was in the lead but the Italian went wide with four laps left, allowing the three Spaniards behind him to move ahead.
