In the MotoGP class, Andrea Dovizioso took his first pole position since the 2010 Japanese Grand Prix.

The podium placings were completed by Valentino Rossi, who finished in third place. In the supporting categories, Thomas Lüthi took his first victory since 2012 by winning the Moto2 race, while in the Moto3 race, Álex Márquez took advantage of a collision between Ajo Motorsport team-mates Jack Miller and Danny Kent, to take his third victory of 2014.
