Franco Morbidelli also did well, the best of the Italian riders who preceded Stefan Bradl, the Ducati of Johann Zarco's Team Pramac, the Yamaha of Maverick Vinales and the Suzuki of reigning champion Joan Mir. Closing out the Top Ten are Francesco Bagnaia with the second official Ducati and Alex Rins with the Suzuki.
