Pecco, who started from pole position, began the race excellently by securing the front position.

However, Marquez held his position convincingly and maintained it until the last 12 laps, while Martin could not catch up.
As the race entered lap 19, Bagnaia protected his position from Marquez's pursuit trying to catch up for second place.
In the 21st lap, Aleix Espargaro was challenged by Alex Marquez, who maneuvered to take fourth place. However, Alex Marquez's efforts were futile in catching up with Aleix Espargaro.
Pecco, untouched in the lead, ultimately finished the race by securing the GP Solidarity champion title, followed by Marc Marquez in second place and Jorge Martin in third place.
