Crash.net journalist Robert Jones runs through the Catalunya MotoGP rider ratings after Aleix Espargaro claimed victory.
Afte two dreadful starts in Austria which cose him the chance of fighting for victory, Vinales produced a brilliant launch during the sprint before claiming third. The Aprilia rider came very close to making a move on Bagnaia for second but could not find a way through as the world champion was exceptional in his defending. A very strong sprint was backed up by an even better ride in the main event as Vinales came close to winning his first race before running into grip issues.
Finishing the sprint where he started, Martin had an eventful 12 laps after making his way into second by the time riders arrived at turn one. The Pramac rider was then assed around the outside by Vinales before a mistake a few laps later saw him nearly hit the Aprilia rider. Martin shot to the inside and had to run off circuit to avoid clipping his fellow Spaniard.
