MOTOGP 2017 FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 12 / AUGUST 27, 2017 SILVERSTONE CIRCUIT / SILVERSTONE, GREAT BRITAIN P80 MOTO2 1. Takaaki Nakagami (Kal) 2. Mattia Pasini (Kal) 3. Franco Morbidelli (Kal) 4. Thomas Luthi (Kal) 5. Francesco Bagnaia (Kal) 6. Simone Corsi (Spe) 7. Stefano Manzi (Kal) 8. Miguel Oliveira (KTM) 9. Brad Binder (KTM) 10. Dominique Aegerter (Sut) MOTO3 1. Aron Canet (Hon) 2. Enea Bastianini (Hon) 3. Jorge Martin (Hon) 4. Gabriel Rodrigo (KTM) 5. Joan Mir (Hon) 6. Livio Loi (Hon) 7. Romano Fenati (Hon) 8. Andrea Migno (KTM) 9. Philipp Oettl (KTM) 10. Fabio di Giannantonio (Hon) Podium-bound, however, were two EG Honda teammates from the middle of the grid. Aron Canet had qualified 16th and Enea Bastianini 17th; and they finished first and second. The cost to Mir's points lead was 14, with Canet up to sec- ond, but the former is still miles again, 226 to 162 points, with Fenati now third at 160; then Martin (105) and di Giannantonio (101). CN 1. Andrea Dovizioso (Duc) 2. Maverick Vinales (Yam) 3. Valentino Rossi (Yam) 4. Cal Crutchlow (Hon) 5. Jorge Lorenzo (Duc) 6. Johann Zarco (Yam) 7. Dani Pedrosa (Hon) 8. Scott Redding (Duc) 9. Alex Rins (Suz) 10. Alvaro Bautista (Duc) Honda rider (bravely ignoring his still painful German GP injuries) was classified third. It would have been a lottery anyway. Romano Fenati (Rivacold Honda) was on pole for the first time, ahead of champion- ship leader Joan Mir (Leopard Honda), and led the first lap. But it was a complete brawl, with a number of others leading over the line and at various points, and a simple error able to cost 10 or 15 places. One leader was Fabio di Giannantonio (Del Conca Honda), who ran wide, dropped to 18th, came back to challenge once more, only to run wide again. Others to lead included Gue- vara and KTM teammate Gabriel Rodrigo, plus Honda riders Mar- tin and Livio Loi. Aron Canet came out on top after a huge battle in Moto3.
