A comple🔯te contrast to Saturday’s sprint, Francesco Bagnaia made a brilliant start as he♒ led into turn one.

Bagnaia came under immediate attack from Martin on the approach to turn two, but 📖the championship leader went too deep under braking and Bagna🍌ia regained top spot.

Further back,🎐 Marc Marquez made another stunning start as he gained five place on the opening lap.

In the battle for P3, Pedro Acosta crashed out of the race as he lost the front-end of hi💮s KTM when tryingꩵ to pass Fabio Di Giannantonio for fourth.

Moments later and it was the turn of 𓂃Marco Bezzecchi to lose control of his machine as he tucked the front at turn five.

As Marquez began to pressure Maverick Vinales for fifth spot, the same wa൩s true for Martin as he and Aleix Espargaro closed in on Bagnaia.

Squabbling between Espargaro and Di Giannantonio saw them lose touch with Bagnaia and Martin on lap seven, which wa🦩s the case further back as Vinales was holding up Marquez and Bastianini.

Mistakes from Bagnaia and Martin at turn five on lap nine saw the chasing pack gain time, althoug🧜h it was a very small margin gained.

On lap ten Di 🅰Giannantonio finally got through on Espargaro for third, before Vinales and Marc Marquez did the same one lap later.

Espargaro’s day then got even worse as he ran off circuit after a near-miss with Bastianini at turওn ten.

Fabio Quartararo gained a position as a result before Bastianini was given a Lonꦚg Lap penalty for his overtake as he also ran off the track.

Vinales then lost P4 to Marquez on lap 14 after running wide at turn eight. Very small contact was made between t💞he pair.

Marquez then began his assault on P3 as he went in search of a move on Diꦿ Giannantonio at turn two.

Marquez went hard on the brakes but Di Giannantonio was in no mood to give up the position as t🤪hey nearly collided.

One lap later and Ma💝rquez was tꦏhrough as Di Giannantonio was wild in his defence which led to him running wide and giving P4 to Vinales.

Lap 20 soon arrived as Martin’s charge to take the lead began, however, Bagnaia produced a bꦉrilliant cutback in order to halt the Spaniard’s charge at turn two.

On lap 21 Martin was through as he deliv𒈔ered the same overtake at tuꦍrn two but did not run wide.

What did happen as a result was Marquez catching the lead duo as he began lining up Bagnaia, who was not g✨iving up on the win.

With one lap to go the top three closed to within three teཧnths as Marquez produce🌌d a stunner at turn ten to demote Bagnaia to P3.

But Martin was given just e🌼nough of a gap as a result to keep hold of the lead as he came across the line for a brilliant double at Le Mans.
