As expected, sprint win𝄹ner Jorge Marꦦtin made a stunning launch as he went from sixth to first before turn one.

Also making a great start was Francesco Bagnaia, as the reigning world champi🌄on was si🌃xth come the end of lap one.

Bagnaia made up even more positions on lap two after Brad Binder made a mistake at turn ten and hit Luc🦹a Marini.

The contact resulted in Marini going down and losing fourth place. Binder lost positions to Bagnaia and 𝄹Aleix Espargaro after running wide.

Clearly at fault for Marini’s fall, Binder was given a Long𝓡 Lap penalty at the beginning of lap five, which he served one lap later. 

After failing to finish the sprint race due to a lap oneꦇ crash, Marquez suffered the same fate on lap eight of the grand prix. Marquez lost the front-end at turn 13. 

Binder was then under investigation for a second time afte🥂r hitting Miguel൩ Oliveira at turn two.

The KTM rider ღdove to the inside of Oliveira after seeing the Portuguese rider run wide at turn one, but contact was made which led to his former teammate going off circuit. 

Hon𒐪da’s day then went from bad to worse as Joan Mir crashed on lap 12, which was also the case for Augusto Fernandez.

But it was lap 13 🅺that produced the 𝓡biggest shock as Martin, who was comfortably leading by over three seconds, crashed out of the lead.

Martin went ꦜdown at turn 11 as he🉐 lost the front-end of his Pramac Ducati. 

Martin’s teammate Johann Zarco also crashed ouꦐt of the race at the same corner, while Binder was given a🐎 second Long Lap penalty.

At the front, Bagnaia began catching Vinales lap after lap before producing a brilliant move under braking a⛎t turn t൩en. 

The overtake came with nine laps to go, however, Bagnaia wa꧂s not the quickest rider on circuit as Fabio Quartararo was catching the leading duo. 

Vinales then started coming back at Bagnaia with five laps to go, as he reduced a one second⛦ lead to just over half a second♕. 

Despite Vinales👍 and Quartararo getting very close on the final lpa, Bagnaia held strong to inflict maximum damage to Martin.
