All the big boys couldn't stay with the kid on his KTM. In the end it was Binder, KTM, Morbidelli Yamaha an Zarco, Ducati. This is fantastic news for us fans as it shows just how competitive this shortened season is. Fabio leads the points finishing in 7th, Rossi 5th and Maverick 14th. This opens the Championship up again to Marquez who had to sit this one out and presumably would get so far behind in points he could not make it up in the short season. But, with this big upset, Marquez could still be in it if he can race in the next round.
Johann Zarco put his year old Ducati on Pole and raced to a fantastic third place.
