Overview
- Francesco Bagnaia came through Q1 to take pole with a 1:57.001 on his single Q2 run, then led every lap to win the 10‑lap sprint by 2.259 seconds.
- Gresini’s Alex Marquez finished second in the sprint to clinch championship runner‑up, with Marc Marquez already sidelined for the season.
- Rookie Fermin Aldeguer finished third on the road but faces a potential eight‑second penalty for a tyre‑pressure infringement that could alter the final sprint classification.
- Ducati locked out the front row in qualifying with Bagnaia, Alex Marquez and Franco Morbidelli, while Fabio Quartararo was fourth after losing time in the final sector.
- Aprilia failed to reach Q2 and started no higher than 14th as Friday’s late rain and yellow flags—most notably after an Aldeguer crash that hindered Luca Marini—reshaped the grid.
