Out of the race before completing lap one, Fabio Di G💦iannantonio had to retire after his Ducati caught fire following contact with Alex Marqu൲ez at the start.

At the front, Vinales was continuing to lead as Acosta began lining upꦍ a move on Marquez for second.

Also o🥃ut of the sprint was Augusto Fernandez as the GASGAS Tech 3 KTM rider crashed on lap one.

Lap three was a neck breaker for the chasing pack as Vinales went seven tenths qu🦹icker than Marquez and Acosta.

Vinales then continued to open up his lead on lap four as Jorge Martin, who overtook Enea Bastianini for P4, beg𒁃an closing in on his fellow Spanish pair ahead.

On lpa five Marquez made a mistake in sector one which gave Vinales ano❀ther huge amount of 🦹time.

Pressure mounted on Marquez from behind while the battle for fifth saw Aleix Espargaro momentarily come through on Bastianini, before the Ducati ๊rider regained the ꦚposition.

After a failed overtake on Marquez, Acosta was bumped down to third by Martin who pu🧸shed the rookie wide in the process.

Vinales, who was seemingly in a league of his own, then lost a considerable amount of time to Marquez who was now the fastest rider ✅on circuit [lap six]. But Vinales steadied the ship on lap eight and stopped losing time to Marquez.

Bagnaia finally moved into the points with a move on Franco Morbidelli for ninth, but the factory Ducati rider struggled to make further pr♛ogress.
