Spain's Joan Mir won Sunday's European MotoGP in Valencia, his first victory in the premier category, to increase his lead in the world championship to 37 points.

Mir took advantage of title rival Fabio Quartararo's first-lap crash while compatriot Alex Rins ensured a one-two finish for Suzuki.

Frenchman Quartararo recovered to trail home in 14th but saw his championship hopes suffer a potentially fatal blow with just two races of the season remaining.
