The Spanish rider capitalised on Marco Bezzecchi’s early penalty to take command, maintaining control throughout the race.

Fernandez’s triumph made him the latest rider to join this season’s list of new winners, underscoring the changing dynamics within the championship.

Francesco Bagnaia crashed out from outside the points after starting 14th, while Brad Binder recovered from 16th to eighth. Home rider Jack Miller fell early after a front row start, and pole-sitter Fabio Quartararo faded to 11th. The outcome reshaped the standings and tightened competition among new-generation riders.
