Pedro Acosta led the Catalan Grand Prix from pole through two restarts only to lose everything on the final lap. Acosta lost further places to Mir and Aldeguer before being clipped by Ai Ogura during a pass at the final corner and crashing out. Ogura was later penalised by the FIM Stewards, costing him fourth place. Acosta led the most laps of any rider all afternoon and left Barcelona with nothing. Brutal.
