The brilliant Joan Mir (Leopard Honda) scored his eighth Moto3 victory of the year in nerve-jangling style, pouncing on the final lap to beat Fabio Di Giannanton­io (Gresini Honda) by 0.043 seconds, with Enea Bastianini (Estrella Galicia Honda) a further 0.008 seconds behind.

‘Miracle Mir’, as he is known by his team, Di Giannanton­io and Bastianini were closely followed over the line by Jorge Martin (Gresini Honda), Aron Canet (Estrella Galicia Honda) and John McPhee (British Team Honda), who finished half a second behind the winner and made it an all-Honda top six.

After the race Mir was sanctioned for overly-aggressive weaving on the final lap: a penalty of six grid positions at the next race.

First non-Honda rider was Marcos Ramirez (Platinum Bay Real Estate KTM), who finished just seven-tenths behind Mir.
