Before the start, all eyes were on Jorge Lorenzo. The three-time MotoGP champion shockingly announced his retirement from the sport earlier this week at the age of 32:

Quartararo took the early lead with a great start, while Marquez quickly settled into second place. The Spaniard patiently led the chasing group and took the lead on Lap 8 before building a slender lead.

Quartararo, Jack Miller, Alex Rins and Andrea Dovizioso all had the pace to keep things close at the front, while further back Cal Crutchlow's 2019 campaign came to an abrupt end:

Johann Zarco and Iker Lecuona also crashed, with the latter's bike sliding into the Frenchman as he was walking away from his own spill.

Track conditions were far from ideal:

With the lead, Marquez put on yet another masterclass with the clean air in front of him, steadily building his advantage over the chasing group. Quartararo and Miller battled it out for second place and never came close to catching the leader, with the former taking second place.

Andrea Iannone crashed out on the final lap, moving Lorenzo into 13th place in his last race.
