A collision early in the race between Bagnaia and Maverick Viñales (Aprilia) ended the race for both riders (both unhurt).
Bezzecchi had his own problems early in the race when an aggressive pass forced him to give a position back to a competitor. Unfazed, Bezzecchi quickly worked his way into the lead and established a pace that led him to victory by more than four seconds over second place.
Second place went to Jorge Martin (Ducati), who battled for several laps with Marc Marquez (Honda) before Marquez crashed out with two laps remaining (also unhurt). Third place went to Joann Zarco (Ducati) who was riding in front of his fellow Frenchmen.
Bagnaia’s crash also brings Martin and KTM’s Brad Binder within striking distance for the championship lead. Binder finished sixth today.
