Bagnaia, who made a mistake during the sprint, ended up gaining the upper hand and escaping little by little to win his tenth GP victory of the season. The double reigning champion will therefore have the right to defend his crown until the last race in two weeks, a priori in Barcelona which should be confirmed as a replacement for Valencia, affected by deadly floods. But with 24 points behind (37 to distribute), the Italian will need a perfect weekend and several errors from Martin, in search of his first title.
