Overview

• Starting from pole, Álex Márquez built nearly a 1.5s cushion before losing the front at Turn 10 on lap nine.
• Álex said he relaxed and felt “unbeatable,” accepting full blame after a mixed run since hand surgery at Assen.
• Marc Márquez said he had already given up on catching his brother before inheriting the lead, then saved a near-fall at Turn 7.
• The result delivered Marc his 14th sprint victory of the season and 12 championship points for the Ducati Lenovo Team.
• With Álex failing to score, Marc’s advantage is reported at 187 points, leaving open the possibility of sealing the title at Misano next weekend.
