Ducati locked out the top-six with Lorenzo Baldassarri, Alberto Surra, and Alvaro Bautista behind the three on the podium, and were on course to have the top seven positions to themselves before Tommy Bridewell crashed on the penultime lap.

Garrett Gerloff was the first non-Ducati rider in seventh, ahead of Xavi Vierge, Axel Bassani, and Remy Gardner in the top-10.
