After the race finally got underway, Martin, starting from pole position, held on to the top spot.

After the fourth lap, the order was as follows: Bagnaia led ahead of Binder, Martin and Marc Marquez, who was making his debut on a Ducati motorcycle.

While Bagnaia continued to lead the remaining laps and took the win.

However, Acosta fell back and had to settle for ninth in the end.

Enea Bastianini and Alex Marquez completed the top six behind Marc Marquez.
