Soon after the start of the race, Pecco and Martin began trading places, lap after lap. Within a span of four to five laps, the duo were clear of the field, despite being engaged in battle. Marc Marquez was the only one who was close to the battling duo and had the best seat in the house to watch the fight.

There were times when Pecco and Martin nearly touched as one tried to out brake or outcorner the other. Nevertheless, it was hard and fair racing.

Post half race distance, Pecco began pulling away from Martin who was trying to keep in touch but wasn’t taking any unnecessary risks. At one point, he was getting close but made a slight error on Turn 9 and almost lost the front. Martin shook his head, regained composure and decided to take it easy till the chequered flag, crossing the finish line in P2. Enea Basitanini, on the second factory Ducati, was third. Meanwhile, Pecco joined an elite club by winning 10 races this season. The other riders who've achieved this feat include Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez.
