The more interesting placements of the weekend were awarded to individual drivers. Maverick Viñales claimed a stunning victory after pulling off a long series of overtakes during the second half of the race. It was his first win racing with Aprilia and first win overall since Qatar 2021. The much-hyped rookie, Pedro Acosta, took second place. This was Acosta’s third official MotoGP race.Last but not least, Enea Bastianini was able to secure third place.
