A triumph that Enea himself defined as "unexpected" because it comes in a weekend characterized by good performances (lap record on Friday), but also by three crashes and a technical problem yesterday.
The victory is in full "BASTARD" style: lightning start, pounding pace (1.32 low) and the second part of the race at the attack complete with a challenge to both official drivers.

Second was Jack Miller's Official Ducati. Third place for Aleix Espargaro's Aprilia and for him this is the fourth podium of the season. Fourth place for Fabio Quartararo, who does not start very well and suffers throughout the race, probably his Yamaha having so little engine fatigue when he starts badly he can no longer overtake, but he still holds the lead in the world championship. Fifth Johann Zarco. Sesto Marc Marquez with a bit of luck for the falls of Bagnaia, Rins and Mir.
