Marc Marquez is now just 14 points from his 10th world championship.
The Ducati rider won the Qatar Grand Prix Sprint Race and finished second in the feature race behind Marco Bezzecchi.
That gave him a riders' championship lead of 60 points with just 74 left up for grabs in the remaining two rounds in Portugal and Valencia.
Bezzecchi took a maximum 25 points with a dominant Grand Prix win, but a crash with Marquez a day earlier in the Sprint Race ended his title chances.
Bezzecchi's Aprilia teammate Jorge Martin is the only man left with a chance of stopping Marquez from achieving history.

Despite riding with a broken wrist, the 2024 champion took 16 points over the course of the weekend to keep the title alive, but he'll need a miracle to stop Marquez from taking the title next time out.
