Aleix Espargaro's day was supposed to be a success, but it turned out to be a nightmare. After taking pole the day before, the Spanish rider had a well-deserved second place when, with just one lap remaining, he abruptly stopped. Granollers' rider was in terrible confusion and thought the race was over. He finished fifth.

Fabio Quartararo won the victory, playing 'La Marsellesa" again. FABIO QUARTARARO won the second MotoGP race of the year, and was tenth overall. This victory is a significant boost for him, as he has now been able to take advantage of Aleix Espargaro’s mistake. The test went well for Spanish interests with Jorge Martin climbing up to the second podium drawer, and Joan Mir finishing in fourth place.
