Race Standings

1st Place: Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse)
2nd Place: Fabio di Giannantonio (VR46 Ducati)
3rd Place: Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia)

Bezzecchi, who had won a sprint race on Saturday, faced challenges during the main event. He was unable to mount a serious challenge due to serving two long lap penalties.

Marc Marquez’s Absence

The reigning world champion, Marc Marquez, was absent from the race due to an injury sustained during a crash with Bezzecchi in Indonesia. Marquez recently underwent shoulder surgery and is expected to be sidelined for up to 16 weeks.
