At second half of the race, it quickly became a hunt game for the Ducati rider, as Bagnaia was showing some strong lap tires compared to Miller and Binder, quick sudden standing changes as Johann Zarco, who was riding 6th finds the gravel and ends his race prematurely, same case for Marco Bezzecchi, as both riders saw a big hit on their championship standigs respectively.
