Enea Bastianini (KTM) +22.273 Moto3 Hakim Danish (MSI KTM) be- came only the second Malaysian to win a Grand Prix and the first to do so in dry conditions, de- spite a grid penalty that dropped him from second to 14th. The rookie was deemed to be riding slowly in Q2, but he didn't let that affect him. "I tried to forget about the penalty. I made some good overtakes to get to Maximo [Quiles] and David [Almansa] as soon as possible. If not, I'd lose them." It was an inspired tactic. By lap two, he was fifth as Quiles (Aspar KTM) dragged Ajo KTM teammates Alvaro Carpe and Brian Uriarte, along with polesit- ter Almansa (IntactGP KTM), Danish and Veda Pratama (HTA Honda) away from the pack. Quiles and Uriarte took turns leading at the front. But Quiles, clearly superior to the field on Saturday morning, found his gear- ing wasn't ideal in the blustery conditions and struggled to pull clear. At no point was he able to shake off his five pursuers. The championship leader's reputation was given scant regard in a thrilling finale when Uriarte ran into him exiting turn nine. As both sat up, Danish sped through, gaining enough of an advantage to avoid being dragged in on the final rise to turn 13. Danish hung on by four-tenths of a second, with Uriarte sec - ond and a furious Quiles third. Almansa, Pratama and Carpe followed, with a second covering the six. Quiles' championship lead with 186 points is still healthy. Carpe (121) is 65 points behind, with Uriarte (92) now third.
