Points were also scored by Acosta, Morbidelli, Vinales, Zarco, and Di Giannantonio.
Race Summary
THE START – Martin starts well, but it’s Bagnaia and Marquez who surprise: both, starting from 4th and 12th respectively, climb to second and fifth positions, taking significant risks. The big twist happens on the second lap: Jorge Martin crashes while leading the race!
Bagnaia takes the lead, now virtually -12 in the championship. Behind him are Bezzecchi and Marc Marquez, with Martin falling to last place but still in the race. Bezzecchi then runs wide, dropping to fourth behind Marquez and Bastianini. Martin recovers up to 13th with five laps to go.
Bagnaia cruises to victory, while Bastianini successfully overtakes Marquez. It’s a dream 1-2 finish for Ducati, with an Italian double triumph!
