Crazy Andrew tops FP3 stealing a tow from Boy George. He'd be popular.

Pole: Boy George smashes lap record. Michelin happy.
2nd: MM
3rd: Crazy Andrew
4th: Pol Esp (bravo)
5th: Sedate Andrew
6th: Smith (well done lad)
7th: Golden Boy
8th: Top Gun
9th: Crusty
10th: Petrucci (welcome back)

Not again!

Bizarre for sure.

Someone please fill me in on what happened.

I'm sitting in an airplane that's waiting to take off.

Typical race for Ducati. Dovi was in full job conservative mode by blocking for Jorghey. Crashy Joe finally got around the human speed bump to later manage to bean it down the road. MM and the speed bump decided to work on their synchronized crashing skills and handed Kopf's boy his first podium. On a final note, how does MCN expect Crutchlow to get another factory ride when he has crashed 4 out of the 5 races?

Lorenzo...Rossi...Vinales.

Iannone crashed out of second which put Dovi into second with Marquez in third...Rossi gaining.

Dovi and Marquez crashed simultaneously which put Rossi into second. Marquez rejoined and finished last.

A crash fest in general with only 13 finishing.
