The Spanish rider, who had never before won a race in the top tier of world motorcycling, staged a titanic fight with the eternal Valentino Rossi, from which he won.

Miguel Oliveira is now the 16th place in the MotoGP World Championship, with seven points, the same as Jorge Lorenzo, and one less than Joan Mir, who also made the ‘jump’ of the Moto2 this season.

The leader of the table is in the hands of Andrea Doviziso (54 points), followed closely by Valentino Rossi (51). The podium finishes with the winner of the third Grand Prix of the season, Álex Rins (49).
