Pole-sitter Vinales got off to a slow start but finished strongly to clock a time of 41min 55.846sec and beat fellow Spaniard Joan Mir of Suzuki by 2.425sec. KTM rider Pol Espargaro was moved up to third to make it an all-Spanish podium when Petronas Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo was handed a 3sec penalty for exceeding track limits.
“After he made a mistake, I tried not to crash and take the maximum points. It feels fantastic, I’m very happy ... we need to continue like this because we have a lot more potential.” Seven-times MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi, who was chasing his 200th podium finish, crashed at turn four on the second lap in tricky conditions after earlier rain. Also enduring a disappointing afternoon was South African Brad Binder, winner of the Czech Grand Prix, who suffered an early crash.
