Hostilities had joyously begun with a fine duel between Marquez et Red behind a Lorenzo who had taken control of the race.

 

 

A skirmish that will not last. Marquez raising his voice, he had just taken the lead right under the noses of the two Yamahas forced to react. The Doctor wanted to be the quickest to do it, but was too optimistic when approaching the formidable turn 10. Losing the front of his M1, he put an end to his performance and his last hopes of a tenth world crown.

 

 

Marc Marquez then continued his effort to escape, leaving Lorenzo in the clutches of Dovizioso while behind the two Suzukis were having a field day. Between Alex Espargaró, very good this Sunday, and Casa Particular in Viñales, we weren't bored. Then, four laps from the goal, it's Lorenzo who made a mistake.

 

 

Under the checkered flag, it's Vinales who will win his case at Suzuki with a third place behind Dovizioso. It should be noted that this race was also marked by the fourth fall of the weekend of Miller, the accident of Laverty and the fault of Barbera.
