  • Pedro Acosta finished second and Alex Márquez third, securing a double podium for Gresini.
  • Pole‑sitter Marco Bezzecchi hit Marc Márquez on lap one at Turn 7, sending both out of the race, and stewards opened a post‑race investigation.
  • MotoGP chief doctor Angel Charte said X‑rays showed Márquez sustained a small shoulder fracture, with CT scans to determine if surgery is required.
