On the podium - Alex Rins, Alex Marquez and Joan Mir

Quartararo started the race on pole but Petronas Yamaha SRT teammate Franco Morbidelli managed to take the lead on the first corner. However, the lead was short-lived as he ran wide allowing Maverick Vinales and Quartararo to pass the rider once again. With Vinales in the lead, the factory Yamaha rider was charging in front building a lead over Fabio, while the 10th-placed Alex Rins was now running fourth putting up a tough fight against the top Yamahas. At the end of the first lap, Vinales had a built a gap of nearly a second, followed by Quartararo while Rins had passed Morbidelli to take third.

Quartararo was now looking to close-in on Vinales and reduced the gap to half a second, but also had Rins breathing down his neck for P2. The top three positions remained the same up to Lap 5, when Quartararo ran wide on the last corner of the lap allowing Rins to move up to P2. The Petronas rider ran wide on the following laps that severely affected his pace and by Lap 15, he was down to 17th and out of points.
