Behind him, Brad Binder (KTM) was able to pass Jorge Martin (Ducati) near the end of the race to take second place, with Martin finishing third.
The three championship contenders each had disappointing days in their own ways. Aleix Espargaró had a problem with his bike on the warm-up lap which forced him to start from pit lane on his spare bike. Espargaro was not able to finish high enough to earn any points. Meanwhile, Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati) had trouble moving up from his poor grid position and crashed on the last lap while running in the ninth position.
Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) did finish the race today, but could only finish in eighth place. Nevertheless, he has extended his points lead in the championship, which now stands at 18 points over Pecco Bagnaia.
