"I tried to brake a little early and ride underneath Pol," said Miller "I didn't expect Oliveira to be there". Espargaro acknowledged the restart had prevented Mir winning. "It was not our race it was Mir's race. He was the fastest," said Espargaro. Mir was fourth, while Oliveira made history "First for Portugal on 900th MotoGP," said Oliveira. "We are the best. History for me today and for my country." Frenchman Fabio Quartararo, who finished in 13th place, remains in the lead of the World Championship with a three-point advantage over Ducati's Italian Andrea Dovizioso who was fifth on Sunday.
