Tire problems for Marquez in the race
Due to the battles at the start of the race, Marc Marquez increased the tire pressure. This is the reason why he was unable to attack for most of the race before coming back on Bastianini in the final part of the race.
Bagnaia returns to the championship
This victory for Pecco Bagnaia allows him to come back to 15 points behind Jorge Martin in the championship. With Martin only 11th on the grid, this could allow Bagnaia to make one hell of a comeback in the general classification. Especially since Jorge Martin is less dominant than usual.

Bagnaia won!
Despite losing time on the last lap, Francesco Bagnaia won ahead of his teammate Enea Bastianini. Which gives joy to Davide Tardozzi, sporting director of Ducati. Marc Marquez is the last driver on the podium ahead of Jorge Martin. Cruel for Pedro Acosta, in the lead with three laps to go.
Bagnaia lost 1 second
We are in the last lap. Bagnaia has lost a lot. 1 second on Bastianini. Will he be able to win?
An epic battle
The battle for 2nd place is sublime. Marquez manages to uncross to take it but Bastianini does the same a few turns later to take it back.
Bagnaia escapes
The battle between Marquez and Bastianini allows Bagnaia to escape. 1 second ahead for the Italian.
Marquez whip
Marc Marquez now threatens Bastianini. Less than 4 tenths between the two now.
Shots by Fernandez and Espargaro
Two falls in turn 2 after a collision. They are Raul Fernandez and Aleix Espargaro.
Shot by Pedro Acosta!!!
Terrible for young Pedro Acosta. The GasGas rider takes a small bump on the track while turning the bike and loses the front. Bagnaia now regains first place ahead of Bastianini and Marc Marquez.
Marquez takes a little lead
Finally, Marc Marquez improves his pace. He is less than a second behind Bastianini and is now 1 second ahead of Martin.
Acosta produces his effort
Acosta pushes without making mistakes. He is 7 tenths ahead of Pecco Bagnaia.
Martin gets closer to Marquez
Jorge Martin should come back to Marc Marquez at the end of the race. 5 tenths of a gap between the two drivers.
Drivers don’t close gaps
Acosta maintains his gap on Bagnaia and Bastianini. Behind Marquez is 1.3 seconds and Martin is 7 tenths behind Marquez. Morbidelli is in Martin’s wheel. There are currently no battles on track. Which is rather surprising for a sprint race.
Long lap for Zarco
Johann Zarco is forced to take a long lap. This won’t change much in his race since he is 17th and you have to be in the top 9 to score points.
Chute de Nakagami
Nakagami’s turn to be pushed by Zarco in the first sector and to fall. Clearly, things are not going well for Johann today who is under investigation.
Marquez does not come back
Marc Marquez fails to get back on Bastianini.
Quartararo in difficulty
Fabio Quartararo is off to a bad start. The Frenchman is now 14th after starting 12th. This contrasts with Martin who is 5th.
Brad Binder drops out
Brad Binder has a technical problem and is no longer moving forward. He raises his hand to point out the problem to his competitors.
