Marquez took the lead in the first corner and built a large gap over second place Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) who, in turn, built a large gap over the rest of the field. Both Marquez and Quartararo cruised home to first and second place, respectively.

Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati) had an up-and-down race, but eventually worked his way into third place to fill out the podium.
