SHILLONG, March 6: Just over a year on from the tragic passing of Fausto Gresini, Enea Bastianini delivered a Grand Prix of Qatar masterclass to claim an emotional victory under lights.
Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM) produced a terrific ride to seal P2, the South African finished just 0.3s away from the win, with Pol Espargaro (Repsol Honda) completing the podium on the opening night of the season.
Jorge Martin (Pramac Racing) got a poor start, as Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda) grabbed the holeshot from the outside of the front row.
His teammate Pol Espargaro was then the early race leader, Brad Binder made a great start to go P3 early doors, with Bastianini slotting into P4.
World Champion Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) was eighth battling with Martin, and just up the road, 2020 World Champion Joan Mir (Suzuki) was making rapid gains.
Quartararo looked set to take home P8 but Johann Zarco (Pramac Racing), on the run to the line, demoted the reigning Champion to P9.
