P64
with a hounding Quartararo, and
on the final lap, perhaps being
overly cautious, both Vinales and
Quartararo caught Bagnaia to be

points in his grand prix career,
finishing a scant 0.3 seconds up
on Vinales and 0.4 seconds up
on Quartararo in third.

18-point title lead, but with five races to go, it's far from game over yet.
