we didn't get points, which was
a shame," Hayden said. "This
was my last MotoGP race but I'm
not retiring. I've got to keep my
focus because I'm riding World
Superbike for Honda next year,
and a lot of people will be trying
to overtake a former MotoGP
champ! It's been a great 13
years here and I'll always remem-
ber these years."
Then came Loris Baz and late
challenger Toni Elias; Jack Miller
was less than a second down,
and fellow Australian Anthony
West rounded out the finishers.
Mike Di Meglio, Broc Parkes
and Eugene Laverty retired.
So that was that: Lorenzo 330
come through and outpaced a
big midfield pack. Michele Pirro
was 12th; then Yonny Hernan-
dez; and then the remnants of
that pack—Alvaro Bautista, still
half a second clear of Scott Red-
ding, who had also cut through
in the closing stages for the final
point.
Hector Barbera had been his
last victim, still inches behind.
Nicky Hayden was a couple
of seconds down by the end,
fending off Stefan Bradl on the
second Aprilia.
