The Frenchman who hadn't reached the top since his victory in Jerez, Two months ago.
Pol Espargaro also goes to the ground while he was fighting with Crutchlow in the rear.
Valentino this time seems to have found the right set-up and takes advantage of a long by Morbidelli to go to second place, but the joy lasts very little because he goes down with ten laps to go, fortunately without consequences.
In the lead Quartararo has to keep the trio composed of Morbidelli (Petronas), Mir (Suzuki) and Miller (Ducati) at bay, to which Rins' Suzuki is also added.
Morbidelli tries to mend the gap from his teammate, but he has to watch his back from the arrembante Mir, while Miller loses ground.
