In a few laps Bastianini was already one second ahead of the second. Five laps completed and two groups start to form behind the leader. One with Lowes and Roberts and the other with fourth, Jorge Martín, leading the pack, a second and a half behind Roberts.
The VR46 Racing Team duo, Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi, were fighting for the top four with Jorge Martín, in the top three pursuing group.
