Like in Sachsenring,𓂃 Bagnaia took an early lead during the 🔴13-lap sprint before seeing another Ducati come through and clear off. 

Jorge Martin seven days ago, this time it was Bezzecchi who was already a two-time winner this season prior ꩵto today’s sprint race.

• Quartara▨ro: “I could not show my pace, track limits warning fr🧸om the beginning…” 
• Marc𝔍 Marquez apologises for Bastianini incident, ‘safe mode’ for Sprint

Those wins both came in a Grand Prix setting, meaning ♋Bezzecchi is now just the third rider to have won a main race and a sprint.

Buꦰt for Bagnaia, the reigning champion still increased hꦰis series lead despite losing points to his fellow Ducati rider, and after giving everything he had, the Italian was content with his performance. 

"I’m happy! I tried everything and when you try everything and don’t 💞succeed, you ca𓄧n still be happy. 

"I was trying to close the gap to Bez, but unluckily, in the last two laps I started to feel like I was♛ risking too much. 

"The rear was a bit on✤ the limit so I decided 🌊to slow down a bit and control the gap from behind. Yesterday morning was quite tough but we improved our situation a lot. 

"In the qualifying I was feeling great so I tried to push but the 🌄first sector is where I’m losing a lot. We have to understand why. 

"Apart from that I’m happy with the feeling. The new bike [here] needs some more l🐲aps but we already know where to improve and where we c✤an do a little step for tomorrow."

Bagnaia appeared to struggle late on as Brad Binder and Fabio Quartararಞo significantly reduced his advant♓age.

And although he was having issues with h♎is rear tyre, Bagnaia admitted it was more to do with no ಌtaking any risks. 

Bagnaia said: "I was knowin🌳gꦿ the gap behind and I was just trying to control as much as I could. 

"In the last two laps 𒉰I was getting a lot of chatter from the rear. I was risking too much to continue pushing and I s𒁏aw that it was 1.3 seconds behind, so I decided to slow down a bit. 

"It w🐼as quite tricky in the right corners and I was losi🅷ng a bit."
