MotoGP · Why it turned out this way
Bezzecchi turned second on the grid into a win while the two title rivals finished apart
- Grid against finish at the front Pole-sitter Raul Fernandez was beaten by Marco Bezzecchi, who started second and won by 4.26 seconds. Jorge Martin came from fifth on the grid to third, 6.89 seconds back, while Fabio Di Giannantonio dropped from third on the grid to eighth. Ai Ogura (seventh on the grid) and Pedro Acosta (ninth) both moved forward to fourth and fifth, split by barely a tenth.
- Four riders did not see the flag Fermin Aldeguer crashed on lap 2 from sixth on the grid, and Francesco Bagnaia and Jack Miller both crashed on lap 6. Toprak Razgatlioglu stopped on lap 9; the reason is not in the official record.
- Title picture: a small swing toward Martin Marc Marquez finished sixth from fourth on the grid, and his title chance moved from 73% to 69%. Martin's podium lifted him from 26% to 28%. Both figures come from the rest of the season simulated 10,000 times from this season's results. There was no recorded forecast for this race to check against.
These percentages are only a snapshot: a crash, a mechanical stop or a rider's best afternoon can overturn them before the next flag.
