In the MotoGP class, Brad Binder took his first victory in the premier class, the first for a South African rider, the first non-European rider to win since Australian Jack Miller in the 2016 Dutch TT, as well the first rookie to win a Grand Prix since Marc Márquez in 2013. With KTM's victory, this race marks the first time a non-Japanese and Italian constructor won a Grand Prix since German constructor König won the 1973 Yugoslavian Grand Prix. In addition, the KTM used the WP Suspension, which is marked the first non-Öhlins suspension to win a race since 2009 Valencian Grand Prix.
