Tatsuki Suzuki (SIC58 Honda)
and Darryn Binder (Platinum Bay
KTM) completed the top 10, but
it was a close-run thing—sixth to
18th covered by four seconds.
Mir's title lead stretched still
further—to a massive 37 points.
He has 165, new second-placer
Fenati 128. Canet dropped to
third at 110, then the absent Mar-
tin 89 and Di Giannantonio (11th
in Germany) 85. CN

Now it was a three-way game
of tactics, and Mir made up for
his blunder at Assen the week-
end before, regaining control
from Fenati into Turn 12 on the
final lap to win his sixth race of a
remarkable campaign.
Fenati was a tenth behind,
Ramirez the same distance
behind him for his first podium.
Bulega was five seconds adrift.
A huge gang had been be-
hind, with Philipp Oettl (Schedl
KTM) breaking clear early on for
a strong fifth. In the closing stag-
es, Enea Bastianini (EG Honda)
managed to get through the
pack for sixth, ahead of Livio Loi
(Leopard Honda), Bo Bendsney-
der (Red Bull KTM) and the rest.
Joan Mir (36) is just proving to be
too good in Moto3 this year.
