Only at the start did Bagnaia close; The former World Champion completed the qualifications on average and was only sixth, but after two turns he was ahead of Alex and on his side in March.
The factory Ducati fought for leadership in the first round, several times the first was Bagnaia, and in the beginning of the second round he tried to attack Alex.

To others, only crumbs remained, for a while in the fight for fourth place, it was best to show the Frenchman Fabiu Quartararo (Yamaha), who made a mistake and had to draw di Giannantonia, and in fifth place was completed by another VR46 team Franco Morbidelli.
