After nearly colliding at turn one, more movement took place between Bulega and Iannone, with the 𓆏former getting ahea🙈d of his fellow rookie.

There was an incident on lap one between Andrea𓃲 Locatell🤪i, Michael Rinaldi and Axel Bassani, which resulted in Rinaldi and Bassani retiring from the race.

At the front, changes were again taking place behind Bautista as Razgatlioglu and Iannone go🉐t ahead of Bulega.

There was another collision on lap 𝐆three as Bradley Ray and Iker Lecuona crashed at the openin﷽g corner.

Wanting to push on the pace, Bulega took second spot away from Razgatlioglu before gainin𝐆g the lead from Bautista on lꦅap five.

Bulega managed to gap Bautista by six tenths, a lead that remained the same for several laps before the two-time wor꧟ld champion slowly closed back in.

With 1🐽1 laps to go, Bautista made his move as he dove t🔯o the inside following a very good slipstream on his team-mate.

W🍨hile Bulega initially went with Bautista, Razga🐽tlioglu was beginning to be dropped by the two factory Ducati riders.

On lap 12 there was drama as Iannon🍬e made his first mistake of the season as he crashed out of P4 at turn ten.

With Razgatlioglu co𒈔ntinuing to shed time, Bulega began closing back in on Bautista as the lead reduced to two tenths. 

Three laps to go was the 🍒mo🦹ment Bulega had nothing left for Bautista, who secured his first win of the season.
