Francesco Bagnaia took the lead by executing a successful overtake on Jorge Martin at Turn 2 on the first lap, and managed to maintain control of the race until the finish line as the reigning MotoGP champion. While Martin stayed within a second of Bagnaia throughout the race, he was unable to make a move on his rival, and Enea Bastianini ultimately passed him at the final turn. Martin expressed his frustration at not being able to challenge Bagnaia for the lead due to limits imposed by front tire temperatures and pressure regulations in recent seasons. Despite finishing in second place, Martin’s late error in allowing Bastianini to pass him at the final corner resulted in a reduction of his championship lead to 18 points. Martin admitted that the mistake was his own, vowing to learn from it and prevent similar errors in the future.
