A few lively turns, the duel with Gonzalez after getting rid of Garciaafter that Fermin Aldeguer he greeted the company, gaining tenths after tenths until he crossed the finish line alone. Impossible to rub salt in his tail. The Gresini rider tried, triggering a nice duel with him around the sixth lap. With that, the emotions of a race that offered few other ideas also ended. Meanwhile, Joe Roberts came up behind, having made a good start at the start, from the fourth row, with the eleventh time. The Californian patiently sewed up by getting rid of Dixon, Garcia and Arenas; with three laps to go he caught up and overtook Gonzalez too.
A golden podium, given the premises, which guarantee him first place in the standings, with five points ahead of Garcia and Aldeguer who is slowly climbing back up the slope (he was fourth before the Spanish race, now he pays 15 points behind). It hasn’t happened since 2006 to have a American leading a world championship (that year it was the turn of the late Hayden who won the MotoGP title). Fermin after the finish line took the well-deserved salute from its audience, while Boscoscuro could cliff the tension (increased after the fall of its second driver, Alonso Lopez). “All my fans are here, with my fan club – said Aldeguer -, very happy to have won in front of this crowd”.
Nothing to do for the Italians started back: Arbolino finished seventh, Vietti ninth, Matteo Ferrari took one point by finishing in fifteenth place. Dennis Foggia out of action, crashing on the sixth lap, at the end of a weekend full of expectations after sixth place in the previous grand prix in Texas. Having fallen on Saturday, suffering a bad blow to his left elbow, the Roman did not go beyond the eighth row in qualifying; in the race he had to fight with the pain, before the track and his opponents.
