Polesitte🐼r Aleix Espargaro was moved down to fift𝔍h, while Marc Marquez made big progress from 14th on the grid.

An all-action ✱𝓀lap three saw Bagnaia demoted from first to fourth in just a few corners.

Acosta was first to come through on the two-time MotoGP champion at turn ༒one, before Raul Fernandez forced his way through, allowing Brad Binder to capitalise.

Fernandez then wasted no time in taking the lead away from Acosta before immediately gapping the ✨rookie, who began battling against fellow KTM rider Binder.

But Fern✨andez then threw away a potential first-ever sprint MotoGP win when he crashed at turn ten.

That promoted Acosta back in𝐆to the lead, however, Binder quickly came through𓆏 before also crashing out of the lead on lap seven.

That allowed Bagnaia, who forced his way through on Acosta, to in🍷herit the lead before Espargaro gained second position off Acosta.

The GASGAS rider began to struggle as Marc Marquez, whౠ✃o lost part of his aero early on, was applying pressure for P3.

With a lead of six tenths, Bagnai🌳a was controlling his lead over Espargaro, while Trackhouse Racing’sܫ day went from bad to worse as Miguel Oliveira crashed out on lap ten.

The drama was not over though as Bagnaia, who was leading by o🅠ver seven tenths, made one of his biggest mistakes of 2024.

The factory Ducati rid🦹er crashed out of a comfortable lead on the final lap as he lost the front-end of his GP24 at turn five.

That gave Espargaro the lead and win, while Marquez claimed another stunning P2ꦛ after overtaking Acosta on the final lap.
