"Honestly, I'm happy to be back on the top. We need to concentrate for tomorrow, but we will enjoy today. My first win for Aprilia," said Vinales, who has now won in MotoGP on three different bikes - Aprilia, Suzuki and Yamaha. But Vinales, who had overcome a bout of illness on Friday, had qualified second-fastest and the Aprilia rider moved up and sandwiched himself in between the two Ducati machines, pushing Marquez down to third.
Vinales had free air in front of him and raced into the lead without anyone to challenge him while Marquez waited for the perfect opportunity to pounce on the final lap as he overtook Martin and finished second.
