There was drama immediately as a fast-starting Alvaro Bautista was hit by Danilo Petrucci at turn one, resulting in both riders crashing out.
His second non-score of the day, Bautista's championship hopes took another major hit.
At the front, Nicolo Bulega took the lead while Michael Van Der Mark made a stunning start from the third row as he moved into third at the start of lap two.
A double Long-lap penalty was handed out to Alex Lowes due to jumping the start.
With 18 laps to go, Toprak Razgatlioglu had enough of second place as he swooped through on Bulega to lead.
Despite taking the lead, Razgatlioglu was unable to break Bulega who was very quick in the final two sectors.
That all changed with 14 laps to go as Razgatlioglu finally broke clear by over a second.
In the battle for the podium Michael Van Der Mark was overtaken by Andrea Locatelli with 10 laps to go.
But the Dutch rider dug in and remained close as Remy Gardner also closed in.
Gardner eventually gained P4 off Van Der Mark but the gap to Locatelli was too much to close down.
