Eleven laps at Barcelona, and a classification worth nothing

The Barcelona result sheet is the strangest of the season so far: eleven laps, a full classification, and not a single championship point recorded against any of it.

Pedro Acosta led it in 18:27.656 from pole, with Raul Fernandez 0.697s behind and Jorge Martin third at 1.476s. Alex Marquez had won Saturday’s sprint.

We publish the timing sheet exactly as it was issued: the finishing order stands, the points column does not. Nothing in the championship table moved on 17 May, which is why the gap at the top still reads the way it does.
