Antonelli – who started the race from pole position – dropped to sixth on the opening lap but worked his way up the order to retake the lead on the penultimate lap, and held on to win ahead of Enea Bastianini and Brad Binder.[2][3] He added a second win later in the season at Motegi.[4] Despite crashing thrice and two no point finishes Antonelli had a total of 4 podiums in 2015 season and finished 5th at the final standings.
