late in the race. The team im-
proved the bike today compared
to the rest of the weekend.
"I'm happy that we didn't
give up in the race, being so
far back. We kept picking off
positions and it would have been
really nice to beat Barbera at the
end. I was able to get in front
of him a few times but then he
put in some quick laps and put
[Mike] Di Meglio in between us
and pulled away. He was just
better than us today. In the last
laps I closed him down and got
within a second but I needed
more than that."
Rossi still leads on points, 195
tinue. Vinales' teammate Aleix Es-
pargaro faded to a troubled 14th,
blaming a lack of confidence and
a locking back wheel.
There was a lively Open class
battle for the last points, won by
just under a second by habitual
top Open rider Hector Barbera
on the Avintia Ducati from local
hero Nicky Hayden on the Aspar
Honda.
"I can't celebrate 16th posi-
tion," said Hayden. "I got a
decent start but I wasn't able
to make up the time I wanted in
the early laps. But I'm somewhat
satisfied with the pace we ran. I
was able to get in the 34s very
Marquez's win gave Honda its 700
th
victory in Grand Prix racing.
