Dani Pedrosa kept the coolest head |
Espargaro led briefly
The chaos began even before the start. The rain had stopped, but the track was still wet, so every thought, whether it is to ride off with rain tires or slicks. Ultimately had the riders earlier only Jorge Lorenzo, Stefan Bradl and Nakasuga disengage the courage equal with slicks. That this was the right decision might, Pedrosa, Cal Crutchlow, Alvaro Bautista and Nicky Hayden recognized in the warm-up lap, as they are not in the starting lineup went, but in the pit lane abbogen to pick up their dry machine and out of the box to start.
And then we started wildly as the drivers on wet tires were initially in the lead, especially Aleix Espargaro, who saw to it that actually a CRT machine led a MotoGP race. So it did not stay long and after several lead changes was soon clear to all of the race is not to stop on wet tires, so came by and by all pilots to the pits. That it was dangerous even showed Hayden, who came in the fourth round to fall.
Bradl collapsed on podium
After the change to slicks lay before Nakasuga Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Stefan Bradl and Crutchlow at the top. Pedrosa won but soon the Japanese, who had held the road and sat on Ben Spies Lorenzo. His countryman, he had also caught soon, but before it could be a duel, flew from Pedrosa and almost lost the connection again. Meanwhile approached Bradl Nakasuga and thus the podium. On lap nine he had also just a lap later, but the German was in the gravel.
Nakasuga had his place on the podium but it is far from certain, since Cruchlow caught up with him and took him to third place again. But it caught Lorenzo, who departed with a wild high-sided, as he was about to overtake James Ellison and the middle of a curve probably had to hit the brakes. Thus Pedrosa was still back in the lead, behind Crutchlow and Nakasuga seemed to go towards the podium. The Briton had other plans and crashed on lap 23 of the race, which was at once Nakasuga replacement rider Alvaro Bautista and second against a podium drove.
Stoner is the last time gas
But the Spaniard did not expect that Stoner despite the difficult conditions with at least a podium would go out of his last MotoGP race. The Australians did well second to second, and had arrived with three laps in the rear of Bautista. There he remained for a while in order to pass input on the penultimate lap from start to finish. Then he let Bautista no chance and picked up one last time from a champagne shower in the premier class.
Behind the Spaniard Michele Pirro retract fifth best result of a CRT driver all year - even the Italians had set at the start on slicks. Dovizioso was sixth, it Karel Abraham, Danilo Petrucci, Ellison and Valentino Rossi Ducati followed in his last race in the top-10. Espargaro yet finished eleventh, twelfth Randy de Puniet and Hiroshi Aoyama was ranked 13 and Colin Edwards was 14 Thus Espargaro has secured the overall victory CRT. Unusual were next to Lorenzo, Hayden, Crutchlow and Bradl still Ivan Silva, Roberto Rolfo, Claudio Corti and Hector Barbera.
