It is the first success in MotoGP for the Suzuki rider, who extends his lead in the Championship. Mir beat team-mate Alex Rins and Pol Espargarò's KTM. A one-two for Suzuki which places two riders at the top of the world championship, Rins is in fact second in the standings on equal points with Fabio Quartararo, with the latter crashing and then getting back on the bike to finish fourteenth.

The Ducatis sink, saved by Jack Miller in sixth on the Desmosedici of Team Pramac. Andrea Dovizioso reached the finish line eighth, while Danilo Petrucci finished tenth.
