16/23: And then there were 4: Pet, Mar, Dov, Rin.
16/23: Miller posts the fastest lap on lap 15, and then he throws it down the road at T5! What a desperate couple of laps it's been for the Pramac squad.
15/23: Crutchlow's running into issues. He's now behind Nakagami and Quartararo and Viñales are closing.
12/23: Bagnaia's crashed out at the final turn! A great shame for the Italian who was riding with these leaders.
10/23: Rins is under Dovizioso at T4 but it doesn't stick!
9/23: This is a brilliant race as Petrucci and Dovizioso exchange the lead through the final turn and the main straight. Rins is under Marquez at Casanova and then he goes 2nd, under Petrucci at the final corner! Bagnaia, Nakagami and Quartararo have joined this scrap. It's a nine way fight!
8/23: Now it's Miller turn to get attacked! He moves under Petrucci at T1 but runs wide. Marquez is then past at turn 2 and Rins demotes the Australian to 5th at T4. This fighting has allowed Crutchlow back into it. Rossi and Morbidelli have both crashed out of this race in separate incidents.
7/23: Dovizioso passes Petrucci around the outside and into T1. Marquez is under Rins and then Miller shuts the door as the world champion attempts to dive up his inside on the exit of T1.
6/23: Marquez is under attack! He's been passed by Petrucci, Dovizioso and Rins in half a lap! From 1st to 5th just like that. Now let's see how the world champion responds.
5/23: Rossi's shocking weekend continues. He's had an off-track excursion and now sits last.
5/23: Rins posts another fastest lap, but he's hopelessly outgunned on the straight, losing positions to both Petrucci and Miller. Marquez's lead is 0.2s.
4/23: Rins posts the fastest lap the third time around. And he's really moving now, going under Petrucci at T3! It's been a brilliant start from the Suzuki man.
3/23: It's getting spicy between Miller and Petrucci, with the Australian out-braking the Italian into T1! But it doesn't stick. And now Rins is on the move, barging by Miller at T12!
2/23: Petrucci sneaks under Miller through the final turn, and Rins has started well and sits 5th.
The start:
2/23: A rubbish start for the Petronas Yamahas. Quartararo is 9th, Morbidelli 10th. And, surprise surprise, Viñales has had a shocker of a first lap. He's 12th.
Crutchlow is under attack from the Ducatis - Dovizioso is into second, Miller third and Petrucci fourth.
