In a race affected by cold and windy conditions, Italian rider Arbolino emerged as the victor, leading the race by an impressive 12 seconds after just six laps. Several front runners, including Garcia, Lopez, Lowes, Dixon, and Salac, fell victim to the conditions early on. Arbolino continued to increase his lead, extending it to around 15 seconds before the race was red-flagged due to worsening conditions. Despite his victory, the half-points awarded meant his hopes of closing the gap on title rival Acosta were dashed. Canet finished second, passing Aldeguer before the race was stopped, while Alcoba came in fourth. Acosta, starting from last on the grid, managed a ninth-place finish, maintaining his 56-point lead over Arbolino with four rounds remaining in the 2023 season.
