KTM rider Miguel Oliveira fended off Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo in an intense battle to claim his first win of the season at the Catalunya Grand Prix in Barcelona on Sunday

Pramac Ducati's Johann Zarco made a late charge to finish second as championship leader Quartararo dropped down to fourth after being given a three-second penalty for exceeding track limits.

“It was probably the best race of my career so far,” Oliveira said in a post-race interview. “Everything was so hard — the tyre management and Fabio was just putting pressure on me for so many laps. Miller used Ducati's supreme launch system to take the lead on the opening lap ahead of Oliveira and Quartararo, who started on pole position for a fifth straight time.

Quartararo steadily improved his lap timings to pass Oliveira at the halfway stage but the Portuguese roared back to reclaim the lead two laps later.Oliveira preserved his tyres to extend his advantage at the top before Quartararo ran off the track with three laps remaining.
