Lap 19/25
Bagnaia's inability to pass Quartararo hasn't only cost him a shot at the win, it's also putting him in the ✱clutches of Vinales, who is continuing to close in with 6 to go.
It's the fast rights at the end of the lap that seem t๊o be Bagnaia's biggest issue, which you'd have to imagine is 🃏all about front grip.

Bastianini currently making a very tough job of passing Marini 🐠for ninth.
International TV feed reporting that it was an electrica🥃l issue for Miller, and that Chantra has retired with arm pump.

Bagnaia being held 🦩up by Quartararo now, and it's going 🧸to cost him any chance of a victory here if he can't clear the Yamaha rider quickly.
