Quartararo didn't retain P1 but he stayed third after a solid start, with eventual winner Viñales the man initially losing out a little. The number 36 then headed a bit wide and the number 20 sliced through, with Viñales taking over in second and Marquez up into third. Marquez took over, stalking Quartararo, with Dovizioso then within touching distance of the number 12 Yamaha as he got shuffled back. Marquez tried to attack, Quartararo resisted, and Viñales was then back on their tail and it was a trio locked together in the lead. The top three had all had their share of mini dramas during the race, but Viñales was then pitch perfect to the flag.
