Next up the Moto2 Crew had a good as as championship leader Jake Dixon crashed out and slow starting front row man Canet went from 3rd on the grid to 14th and then chased down the leaders to win his first race of the year and take the lead in the championship. Lastly the MotoGP grid bolstered by the return of Martin had their best races of the season. Marc Marquez won the sprint while Bagnaia finished 8th. The race Sunday night was action filled as the Marquez brother tangled at the first turn. Surprisingly Vinales raced to the front on his KTM only to run wide and let Marc take the victory. Bagnaia finished third but was promoted to 2nd after Vinales was penalized for low tire pressure. Morbidelli was third.
