As the laps progressed, Lorenzo was way ahead of Viñales and caught teammate Rossi and took the lead. For Rossi, the missed opportunity is a
big one as he fights to close on title leader Marquez - dropping 9 points with
the championship leader taking the win.
Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda) had
a solid ride to prove top Independent Team rider in fifth, just ahead of Misano
winner Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team) - who had a more difficult race at
MotorLand but crossed the line in sixth to beat Aleix Espargaro (Team Suzuki
Ecstar) in the final stages, with brother Pol Espargaro (Monster Yamaha Tech 3)
behind him in P8.
The race now moves on to Japan.
