Marco Bezzecchi has won the 1000th MotoGP race after drama involving Maverick Vinales and world champion Francesco Bagnaia.
Unable to replicate his start from the sprint, Francesco Bagnaia was beaten to turn one by Marc Marquez and Jack Miller.
Miller finally made his move stick at the beginning of lap three, while Maverick Vinales was making his way through the lead group. A disaster for both riders as a race win could have been on the cards. That wasn’t the only incident as Marini managed to save a front-end fall at turn three, but with an unsighted Alex Marquez just behind, the Spaniard hit the side of Marini which led to both riders crashing.
Marquez had no answer for Bezzecchi though, as the winner in Argentina began to rapidly extend his lead. With eight laps to go, Miller then bizarrely set his personal best lap of the race, while Binder was given a Long-lap penalty after failing to lose a second when running off circuit after overtaking Miller.
