Augusto Fernande🉐z ꦐhas retired - technical issue, not a crash for the Yamaha wildcard.
Aldeguer up to third with three laps to go, he passes Morbidelli into turn four. Th𓂃at choice of medium rear tyre really paying off for the Spaniard.
Aldeguer on a bit o🙈f a charge. He's fourth at the moment, but he was 0.4s faster than Morbidelli on the last lap.
The soft tyre runners really dropping off at the moment, even Alex Marquez. 🐲Not Marc Marquez, though, it's probably worth noting.
Bezzecchi into the points now from 20th on the grid. He just passed Quartararo for ninth, who dropped a couple of positions when he ran wiꦿde at turn one. A bit of a salvage from Bezzecchi, though.
Marc Marquez already 0.8s ahead of 🔯Al꧋ex Marquez having been in the lead for only one lap. Quite astonishing pace.
A bit of a lunge from Marc Marquez at turn one of lap siꦺx, but he now leads. It was clean enough, but he did come from a decenꦍt way back.

Long lap penalty for Miller for causing a collisio𝔉n.

Morbidelli now coming under pressu𝓰re at the beginning o✨f lap three from Acosta.
Acosta tried to pass at turn 🐟one but ran wide and Morbidelli retook the position.

Turn one, lap two and Marc Marquez up to second past Morbiꦜdelli.
Acosta was briefly third on the run into turn one, but he ♌dropped to fourth afterwards, and remains there at the end of lap one.
