Aleix Espargaro sealed a dominant sprint win ahead of MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia and Maverick Vinales.
As the formation lap got underway, rain began to fall which led to every team setting up their rider’s second bike.
As Vinales began to lose even more time, fellow Spaniard Jorge Martin then challenged the Aprilia rider before nearly running into him at turn one. Espargaro’s charge continued on lap six as he tried to get alongside Bagnaia on the run to turn one, but he was unable to make a move.
