A complete contrast to Saturday’s sprint, Francesco Bagnaꦡia made a brilliant start as he led into turn one.

Bagnaia came under immediate attack from Martin on the approach to turn two, but the championship leader went too deep under braking and Bagnaia 🦄regained top spot.

• Johann Zarco: “I was ready to fi🥂ght, but the bike’s limitations were there” 
• Pedro Acosta, Miller, Quartararo lead Le Mans MotoGP warm-u꧂p 

Further back, Marc M🎀arquez made another stunning start as he gained five place on the openꦺing lap.

In the battle for P3, Pedro Acosta crashed out ♏of the race as he lost the front-end of his KTM when trying to pass Fabio Di Giannantonio for fourth.

Moments later a🐷nd it was the turn of Marco Bezzecchi to lose control of his machine as he tucked the front at turn five.

As Marquez began to pressure Maverick Vinales for fifth spot, the same 𒆙was true for Martin as he and Aleix Espargaro closed in on Ba꧑gnaia.

Squabbling between Espargaro and Di Giannantonio saw them lose touch with Bagnaia and Martin 🌌on lap seven, which was the case further back as Vinales was holding u🍎p Marquez and Bastianini.

Mistakes from Bagnaia and Martin at turn five on lap nine saw the chasing pack gain time, 🍌although it was a very small margin gained.

On lap ten Di Giannantonio fi๊nally got through on Espargaro for third, before Vinales and Marc Mar🌜quez did the same one lap later.

Espargaro’s day then got even wꦇorse as he ran off circuit after a near-miss with Bastianini at turn ten.

Fabio Quartararo gained a position as a result before Bastianini was given a Long Lap penalty for his oꦿvertake as he also ran off the track.

Vinales then lost P4 to Marquez on lap 14 after running wide at turn 🍨eight. Very small contact was made between the pair.

Marquez then began his assault on P3 as he went in search of a move on Di Gianඣna🧸ntonio at turn two.

Marq🎉uez went hard on the brakes but Di Giannantonio was in no mood to give up the pos🧸ition as they nearly collided.

One lap later and Marquez was throughꦦ as Di Giannantonio was wild in hi﷽s defence which led to him running wide and giving P4 to Vinales.

Lap 20 soon arrived as Martin’s charge to ꦏtake the lead began, however, Bagnaia produced a brilliant cutback in order to halt the Spaniard’s charge at turn two.

On lap 21 Martin was througꦕh as he delivered the same overtake at turn tw✃o but did not run wide.

What did hꦿappen as a result was Marquez catching the lead duo as he began lining up Bagnaia, who was not giving up on the win.

With one lap to go the top three closed to withiওn three tenths as Marquez produced a stunner at turn ten to demote Bagnaia to P3.

But Martin✨ was given just enough of a gap as a result to keep hold of the lead as he came across the line for a brillian♍t double at Le Mans.
