That mistake also put Marc Marq꧂uez into the final podi𒐪um place, with the Gresini rider - stripped of pole position by track limits - soon duelling with Bastianini for second.

The Italian held firm during an aggressive battle, as꧂ both🐷 almost got to within striking distance of Bagnaia by the chequered flag.

Starting 11th after a costly qualifying crash, title leader Jorge 😼Martin South salvaged fourth.

The Pramac rider is now a reduced 15 points clear 𝔍of Bagnaia.

Brad Binder dropped out of the lead group with a technical issue in the early laps, w𝓰hile Aleix Espargaro and J💝oan Mir joined Acosta in falling.

Home star Takaaki Nﷺakagami was taken down by mid-race contact from ꦕhis own LCR Honda team-mate Johann Zarco, for which the Frenchman, in 17th, received a long lap.

I🏅ntermittent raindrops continued to taunt teams and r♏iders in the run-up to the Sprint.

Soft rear slicks were chosen by all riders for the start of the damp 12-lap co𝓀ntest.

All except Jack Mil📖ler, Alex Rins and Augusto Fernandez also picked the hard front, albeit 🔯with their ‘wet’ bikes ready for action in pit lane. 

But the predict✃ed Saturday downpour didn’t arrive.

Miguel Oliveira is absent after fracturing his right wrist in Mandalika and replaced at Trackhouse by Aprilia test rider൲ Lorenzo Savad♚ori.

ඣWorld Superbike regular Remy Gardner is making his third appearance of the season for Yamaha, as a wild-card in the factory’s home round.

Revised tyre pressure rules for 2024 mean riders must stay above a lower front minimum of 1.8 bar (insteaꦆd of 1.88) for 60% (instead of 50%) of a Grand Prix distance, or 30% of a Sprint.

The punishment for faili🌼ng to mee♊t the minimum in a Grand Prix is a 16-second post-race time penalty, or an 8-second penalty for a Sprint/short race.
