Hoping to make a perfect start, polesitter Francesco Bagnaia did just that as he held 🌺onto the lead.

Jorge M🐲artin kept hold of P2 as Alex Marquez moved ahead of Maverick Vinale𝓀s for third.

Disaster then struck Marc M🃏arquez, who after crashing at the end of Q2, lost control after clipping too much of the inside kerb at turn two [lap two].

Marquez was unable t🌳o rejoin the action as there was ꦫtoo much damage to his GP23.

With Bagnaia and Martin pulling away, Vinales made a decisive ✱move on Alex Marquez at the final chicane to gain P3.

V🦂inales began catching the top two but lap times were very tight wh𒈔ich was making it hard for the Aprilia rider to make enough of an impact.

Alex Rins joined Marc Marquez in crashing out of the☂ sprint race o🌌n lap nine, while at the front, Bagnaia now had a lead of over one second.

Further ba𝓀ck, Enea Bastianini was making impressive progress as he overtook Binder and A. Marquez for P4 on lap nine.

Leading theﷺ battle for fifth, Alex Marquez was awarded a Long Lap penalty due to exceeding track limits.

On the final lap Aleix Espargaro suffered a monster♉ crash in the final sector, while Bagnaia came across the line with a comfortable margin over M🌜artin and Vinales.
