On the start it was Marquez who kept the top spot, followed by a group that almost lasted for the 20 laps of the race. Dovizioso, Rins and Miller were the ones that were part of it. At the back there were also some groups formed, like Rossi, Pol Espargaro and Crutchlow battling for 5th place.

As the laps passed by Marquez was keeping his distance ahead of Dovi, Rins and Miller were keeping up with the pace of the spaniard, giving a strategic battle of who will manage better their specific tyre compound

Half of the race completed and Marquez still was holding the lead ahead of the other 3 riders from the group, waiting for the perfect moment to pick up the pace; And that moment eventually came up. Marquez picked up the pace and got away from Dovi, Rins and Miller. The tires of Marquez still had some to show against the degradated tires of his rivals.

Last laps were Marquez show, as Dovi struggles to keep him up, but separates against Rins and Miller, who were on battle for last spot of tje podium. Rins tried to defend from all the attacks from the Pramac rider, but the degradation of his tires couldn’t keep up against Miller. Another win from the Cervera Rider, with a fristrated 2nd place for Dovi and a surprisingly 3rd place for “Jackass”.
