Pramac Ducati rider Jorge Martin moved into the second position after Francesco Bagnaia's crash with 8 laps remaining. Although race leader Marco Bezzecchi had a substantial lead, Martin's unzipped leathers, potentially due to heat, prompted a risky zip-up maneuver, allowing Fabio Quartararo to challenge. Martin eventually held on for second, but his exhaustion delayed the podium ceremony, and he missed the post-race press conference. Spain's Jorge Martin secured second place, while France's Fabio Quartararo claimed third in the race won by Marco Bezzecchi. (Reuters Image)
