Further thrilling battles unfolded at the back as Quartararo's steadfast defense against multiple competitors highlighted an intense close to the race. Ultimately, Bezzecchi's unchallenged ride delivered a remarkable third season victory for Aprilia, securing his and his team's place in racing history.
