The masters of Mandalika 🇮🇩

The red light comes on and we are underway here by the GP Action, underway in Indonesia. Storming start from Miguel Oliveira. Oliveira powers his way out of the final corner and eases past Fabio Quattararo. Here comes Jack Millen up the inside of Miguel Oliveira into Turn 10. Here comes Oliveira. That's the battle for the race lead and it's now in the advantage of the Portuguese man. Miguel is the man in Mandelika. A famous win here for KTM in our first Indonesian Grand Prix in a quarter of a century. That was a brilliant ride by Miguel Oliveira. Pekka Vanyaia is up three places. He's up into ninth place. Alessio Spargaro's first lap is getting worse as he goes wide. Vanyaia might gain another two places there on the inside of Marquez and Spargaro. Around the outside and now through the third gear. Turn 11 is Alessio Spargaro. He leans on Vanyaia. This is brilliant by Vanyaia. It's taken him, what, two and three quarter laps to get himself from 13th to third. Oh no, Jorge Martin has crashed. Can you believe this? Jorge Martin has his head in his hands. There is another massive plot twist in this year's MotoGP World Championship battle. Here comes Vanyaia. He's got the inside. This could be the key race winning overtake there. He got such better speed. This is where Mario Pignali started to fade through the high speed chain direction. Vanyaia picks him off. A massive victory in Mandelika for Pekka Vanyaia and the defence of his MotoGP World Championship. Cue absolute delirium inside the factory, the Catti garage. That was the ride of a world champion. Vanyaia has made a superb start from the second row. Already on the rear tyre of Martin. Jorge Martin's crashed out on lap one. Does anybody want to win this year's MotoGP World Championship? Another massive twist in Mandelika in this year's championship battle as Pekka Vanyaia does take the chequered flag first. Martin goes for third. He's come from a long, long way back there. He had to put a lot of trust in that front end. He got it out. He came from so far back and Quattroaro just eased off the brake. Let him come through. He knew he was going to run wide. Quattroaro under pressure again this time from Jorge Martin. He's again going to have to leave it a little bit late. Releases the front brake and goes on the inside. But again Quattroaro candidly back up the inside as Martin loses that place again. You can see he's been backed into Binder and Deletius Fargo. Martin keen to get on with this. Yeah, there's a big gang behind Quattroaro and finally Martin does sneak on the inside. This time he has made it through, through the third gear. 130km an hour, turn 12. That's all in full send, isn't it, from Jorge Martin. Well, it didn't matter what Merini was going to do there. Martin was coming through whatever, wasn't he? Vinala just has no momentum, no corner speed. Has he already overcome that soft rear tyre? He's going to make an early brake. Sprint magic for Martin in Mandelika. He does make it four sprint wins in a row. He crashed out in Mandelika in 2022. He crashed out in Mandelika in 2023. He crashed out of the Mandelika sprint here yesterday. But for the very first time in Indonesia, it is Jorge Martin with a masterclass. He is the master of Mandelika and he seizes back control of this year's MotoGP World Championship. Vamos is the message on the 89's pit board. Come on, Prima Pratmakarasinghe, as he takes a monumental victory in this year's MotoGP battle.
