Vinales got off to a bad start from pole position, but fought his way to the front from ninth position. He was the first pilot to win MotoGP races for three different manufacturers. World champion Francesco Bagnaia (ITA/Ducati) came fifth. Marc Marquez (ESP/Ducati) dropped out with ten laps to go while leading the race.
Vinales explained that he felt the support. “It was spectacular. I made history.” Acosta spoke of an “incredible” race. “I enjoyed the overtaking maneuvers. That was a lot of fun.” The Spaniard had previously won victories in the premier class with Suzuki and Yamaha.
