Spaniard Martin’s lead was cut to 24 points after he finished second behind the Italian defending champion Bagnaia in a race that had to be restarted, with a maximum of 37 points remaining to be won in the final round in a fortnight’s time.

Enea Bastianini was a distant third to complete the podium behind the dominant front two, who battled wheel-to-wheel for the first four laps before Bagnaia was able to open a gap which he held till the chequered flag. “Honestly, Jorge was very aggressive,” said Ducati rider Bagnaia after the lead was exchanged on multiple occasions in the opening skirmishes.
