Overview
- Marco Bezzecchi led every lap at Lusail and finished more than three seconds clear to deliver a commanding win.
- Marc Marquez recovered to second place after overtaking Raul Fernandez on the main straight with four laps to go, but he could not catch Bezzecchi.
- Raul Fernandez held onto third under late pressure from team-mate Ai Ogura while Pedro Acosta dropped from podium contention to sixth after a tyre-pressure warning.
- The race grid and outcome were shaped by non-racing incidents: Francesco Bagnaia crashed in the sprint, Luca Marini withdrew before the race with fatigue-like symptoms, and Diogo Moreira and Brad Binder retired with technical problems.
- The result preserves a tight title fight heading to the remaining rounds and highlights that rider fitness and bike reliability will be decisive in the closing stages.
