Overview
- Fabio Di Giannantonio earned pole with a 1:17.410 after advancing from Q1, topping a crash‑heavy Q2 that also caught out Francesco Bagnaia, Pedro Acosta, Marc Marquez and Jorge Martin.
- The Sprint start was pushed back about 80 minutes to fix a large hole on the start/finish straight that officials said was off the racing line.
- Marc Marquez overhauled Di Giannantonio after the leader ran wide at Turn 12 with three laps remaining, winning the 15‑lap Sprint by 0.213s for his first victory since returning from a collarbone fracture.
- Jorge Martin finished third ahead of Marco Bezzecchi and Ai Ogura, with Fabio Quartararo sixth; Maverick Vinales, Johann Zarco and Joan Mir crashed out.
- Turn 4 remained a recurring hazard through practice and qualifying, and with the main race still to come Sunday, Pedro Acosta retains a narrow championship lead after salvaging a single Sprint point.
