Anthony West on the AB Mo-
toracing Honda followed along.
Loris Baz on the Forward
Yamaha and Alex de Angelis
replacement Damian Cudlin on
the Ioda ART both crashed, the
latter on the first lap.
Tension for the title equaled
the tension at the track. Rossi's
lead is now down to seven
points, 312-305, with one last
showdown. In 2006 the mar-
gin ahead of Nicky Hayden
was eight points, and it was
Rossi who blinked first. Marquez
(222) is safe in third; Pedrosa's
second win moved him to fourth
with 190, two ahead of no-score
Iannone. CN
improving Aprilia, until Maverick
Vinales' Ecstar Suzuki slipped
past and the German started to
lose ground.
By the end Aleix Espargaro
narrowly managed to fend off
teammate Vinales, then Pol,
Bradl and a lackluster Scott Red-
ding, on the EG-VDS Honda, in
11th trailed, all were respectfully
spaced apart.
Nicky Hayden's Aspar Honda
was finally best of the B-team
Hondas, only getting ahead of
a persistent Jack Miller's LCR
Honda with three laps to go.
Di Meglio's Avintia Ducati,
Laverty's Aspar Honda and
second-race Abraham substitute
The start, and Marquez (93) is
already making a move for the
front but Pedrosa (26) has him
covered.
