Movistar Yamaha duo Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi showed excellent pace and were pulling away from the rest. Marc Marquez caught up with the two and overtook a struggling Lorenzo. Valentino Rossi also was overtaken due to a mistake in the final corner.

The youngest champion in MotoGP history could not shake ‘The Doctor' off his tail. They did not trade places, however, the multiple Italian champion piled loads of pressure. In the end Rossi settled for second place as his tyres were degrading at a rapid pace.
