Jorge Martin of Pramac Racing dominated the crash-hit Indonesia Grand Prix in Mandalika, leading from start to finish to claim his third win of the season and extend his championship lead to 21 points.

Pole-sitter Martin took the lead at turn one and maintained it despite challenging conditions and pressure from Pedro Acosta. The victory was particularly satisfying for Martin, who had crashed in the previous year's race and Saturday's sprint.

Reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia, who qualified fourth, struggled with a poor start but managed to secure a podium finish. The race saw several incidents, including crashes involving Enea Bastianini, Marc Marquez, and other competitors, leading to a dramatic and eventful race.
