17/22: Now Rossi passes Mir! Is this a late podium charge in action... from 13th on the grid!
16/22: Rossi is under Viñales at the last corner.
15/22: Mrorbidelli has dropped away. Viñales posts his personal best lap on lap 14 and is now all over Rins. Rossi is right there, too.
Another brilliant move from Rins, passing Marquez at T15!
14/22: Miller has retired too. Desperate day for the Pramac Ducati guys.
14/22: Rins is on it, hacking the 1/2s disadvantage to the front in half a lap. Dov, Mar, Rin the top 3.
13/22: Viñales is really puzzling me here; this is a '18 performance, and he seems incapable of making his way toward the front.
13/22: Rins is back under Petrucci at T1, keen to get his hooks into the leading pair.
12/22: Dovizioso and Marquez are upping the pace here, and splintering the leading group. Petrucci is scampering to keep up
12/22: Bagnaia's retired out of his first MotoGP race.
11/22: So Dovizioso, Marquez, Petrucci, Rins the top 4.
11/22: This could be crucial - the last 2 laps Rins has led out of the final corner and just had enough in hand over Dovizioso to lead over the line.
Saying that, Dovizioso is under Rins at T1 and then Marquez passes Petrucci and Rins at T6!
10/22: Morbidelli has caught and passed Rossi for 8th
10/22: Petrucci is lurking and now sits 4th, passing Mir into T2! Then he's under Marquez at T6! Rins is back by Dovizioso at T4 to lead.
9/22: Rins leads again, under the Ducati at T12!
9/22: After Miller's early issues with his seat, he's closing in on this lead group, making it 10 riders fighting at the front.
9/22: Dovizioso out-drags Rins into T1!
8/22: Rins is really aggressive, and he picks off Dovizioso at T4. He clearly feels he can break clear here.
7/22: Petrucci picks Crutchlow's pocket at the final corner to go 5th!
7/22: Lead group of 9 riders here covered by 1s - Dov, Rin, Mar, Mir, Cru, Pet, Viñ, Ros, Mor.
