T
he 2022 Pertamina Grand Prix of
Indonesia bought MotoGP rac-
ing back to the Southeast Asian
country for the first time since 1997 and
gave the GP riders every possible con-
dition to contend with over three days.
After a lengthy delay due to torren-
tial rain, it was Red Bull KTM's Miguel
Oliveira who mastered the masses
of standing water to take his first win
since Catalunya last year, taking the
victory ahead of pole sitter and cur-
rent World Champion Fabio Quartararo
(Monster Energy Yamaha), with Quar-
tararo's French compatriot Johann
Zarco (Pramac Ducati) taking third.
Oliveira and Miller both passed early
leader Quartararo at the end of lap
two, with the Australian making the
early running. Oliveira made his way
past Miller on lap six and immediately
started to pull a gap that measured 1.6
seconds by half race distance.
