Barbera's second race on the
Avintia Ducati yielded a single
point after he passed Redding's
Go&Fun Honda RCV1000R on
the last lap, the Brit complaining
about a queasy front-end feeling
that spoiled his braking and cor-
ner entry and meant he had "run
off a couple of times."
Forward Yamaha's Alex De An-
gelis was next and out of touch.
Michael Laverty narrowly pre-
vailed over Michel di Meglio's
Avintia Kawasaki; second PBM
rider Broc Parkes had been with
them, but was four seconds
down at the end.
Cal Crutchlow was back to
Ducati nightmare mode, messing
up his start then crashing out on
lap two trying to make up for it.
Karel Abraham also crashed out,
blaming a return of brake failure;
Petrucci retired.

312 points, then come Rossi and
Pedrosa on 230 and Lorenzo on

down on 153, then the Espargaro
