The Italian, who started from pole position, won on Sunday ahead of his Aprilia teammate Raul Fernandez and Fabio Di Giannantonio on a Ducati. Fourth-placed Pedro Acosta lost a potential next podium finish for KTM to Di Giannantonio in the closing stages. Runner-up world champion Alex Marquez had to settle for sixth place on his Ducati.

Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) ended up in the gravel trap on the very first lap. The two-time champion retired for the fifth time in a row in front of the world champion Marc Marquez, who has been sidelined with an injury for weeks.

Brad Binder was the second-best KTM rider in the final race, finishing eighth. In the overall standings, Acosta, who had a brilliant second half of the season with several podium finishes, came fourth behind the Marquez brothers and Bezzecchi. However, the Austrian KTM team failed to secure a race win during the 22-round season.
