For his second season only in the premier class, Joan Mir (Suzuki) is crowned world champion and succeeds his hegemonic compatriot Marc Marquez.
Seventh in the race, the 23-year-old Spaniard benefited in particular from the retirement of Fabio Quartararo on the 9th lap.
As for the winner of the Valencian Community Grand Prix, Franco Morbidelli (Yamaha) managed to contain the ardor of Australian Jack Miller (Ducati) in the last laps to go for a third success this season.
Spaniard Pol Espargaro (KTM) completes the podium.
Bad day for the French because like Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha), Johann Zarco (Ducati Avintia) had also retired very early in this Grand Prix.
From outside bet to WORLD CHAMPION!
