Tony Arbolino wins a red-flagged Australian Moto2 Grand Prix as weather conditions deteriorate at Phillip Island.

The race was halted on lap 10 of 23 as the wind increased on an already soaking wet and cold track, by which time Arbolino held a massive 15-second lead over Aron Canet.

A restart was planned to be held over just 6 laps but was ultimately cancelled. With less than 2/3 distance complete, half points were awarded.

"With these conditions, we should have double points, not half!" joked Arbolino.

Runaway title leader Pedro Acosta fell on the sighting lap and was unable to restart his bike. Acosta's Ajo Kalex returned to the pits on the back of a trailer and he was forced to start from the back of the grid.

Acosta was credited with ninth by the time of the stoppage and, despite Sunday's drama, can wrap up the title next weekend in Buriram.
