26/26: Viñales is back! A brilliant win for the Catalan, coming home 4.8s clear of Marquez. Quartararo makes it back to back podiums, while Dovizioso just holds off Morbidelli and Petrucci.
26/26: Viñales has been immense. He's a full second quicker than everyone. A 1st win of the year is just around the corner.
25/26: Mir's back to 8th after running off track at T3! Dovizioso still holds 4th, a decent result all things considered.
25/26: Marquez has backed off and acknowledged 2nd will be enough. Viñales' lead is now 2s.
24/26: Morbidelli has passed Mir and now sits just behind Petrucci. 4th is still within reach.
24/26: Viñales now has 0.7s in hand. This is his to lose.
23/26: Marquez isn't taking this lying down. Not by a long shot. He's keeping that gap at 0.5s - nothing more.
22/26: Morbidelli has some real pace now, and he's joined the Dov-Pet-Mir fight. Crutchlow has lost time after nearly tagging his rear end into T1.
22/26: Another personal best time from Viñales on lap 21 - the 2nd lap in a row he's done that. He has some breathing space now, 0.5s ahead.
21/26: Viñales' lead is up to 1/2 a second.
20/26: We've waited 2 and 1/2 years for this, but finally we have the Viñales-Marquez punch up. It's finely poised. Quartararo is 1.5s back in 3rd.
19/26: Mir's got by Petrucci! A phenomenal showing by the rookie, who sits 4th at present.
This was how much speed Quartararo lost with the earlier head-shake from his Yamaha on the back straight...
19/26: Dovizioso's really in trouble. Now Mir's past at De Strubben.
18/26: Quartararo is out of this fight for the victory. The Dutch TT is now a two-rider duel - and what a duel it is! Vinñales is back through under T12!
18/26: Viñales makes a mess of T1 and suddenly Marquez is 0.4s clear!
17/26: Petrucci has passed Dovizioso at T5.
