Vinales now leads the world championshi♚p standings by four points from Luis Salom after leading lap 15, where the race was counted back to as t🍰he last complete lap.

It is Vinales🌜' best result at Jerez after failing to finish in 2011 and finishing sixth in 2012 after running wide on the seco🍃nd lap.

Salom had to settle for a frustrating second as he was sat behind his fellow Spaniard waiting for the right moment to make his move aboard his Red Bull KTM Ajo, when the race was cut sho𝓀rt.

Jonas Folger was third for Mapfre Aspar with his fi𓆉rst podium of the season he is also the first non-Spanish rider to make the rostrum this year.

KTM once again dominate with all three of𒁃 the top riders aboard a KTM or Kalex KTM.

Initial reports said Techer was 'conscious' and currently undergoing treatment in the medica🏅l centre.

Alex Rins lost out in the championsꩵhip race as he had been in the leading group with Vinales, Salom and Folger until he lost the front of his Estrella Galicia KTM with thirteen lapsꦯ to go, allowing the two remaining Spaniards to open a gap on Folger.

Brad Binder benefi🍌ted from a huge gap after both Mahindra's Miguel Oliveira and Caretta rider Jack Miller crashed behind hi☂m, leaving him clear for fourth and the top finishing Honda.

The battlꦬe for fifth was won by Redox RW Racings Jakub Kornfeil despite a lack of track time as he only joined the paddock on Saturday after sitting exams in the C𒀰zech Republic.

Sixth was awarded to Avant Tecno's Niklas Ajo while Red Bull's Zulfahmi Khairuddin had moved into seventh🔯 at the race end.

Completing the top ten were Mahindra's Efren Vazquez, San Carlo Team Italia rider Romano Fenati and Ong🐲etta Rivacold's Alexis Masbou.

British rider John McPhee narrowly missed out on a first top ten placing but still recorded𒈔 a best finish of 11th for the Caretta Technology- RTG team.

The Scot had passed Masbou, who he crashed witꦜh in Qatar, but lost out when the race was taken back to 🥂the last completed lap.

The third of th✅e Red Bull machines, piloted by Arthur Sissis was 12th, with Briton Danny Webb next on the timesheets for Ambrogio Racing in 13th.

Jasper Iwema, whose crash red-flagged the Austin Grand Prix, returned to finish 14th for the RW Racing GP team🌳.

Livio Loi finished his fir🌳st race in the championship in the points taking 15th for Marc VD꧑S.

He is the first Belgian to race in the lightweight class since Lucio Pietron🥀iro in 1989. He exceeded the expectatio🥂ns of the team who expected the sixteen year old to place around 20th on his debut.

In a cr♋ash filled race Alex Marquez, who was the first to fall returned to finish 23rd while Portuguese rider Oliveira also r🔯eturned to track for 16th.
