27/27: Marquez breezes by Viñales on the run to T1!
26/27: Just 2 laps to go! And Marquez has sat up early for turn 1 on each occassion for the past 3 laps. This is tight. The #93 is just biding his time to the last lap.
24/27: Miller grabs 4th off Bagnaia at T10.
23/27: Marquez is putting Viñales under the most intense pressure, shadowing him around turns 1 to 4. But after Siberia, the M1 is able to gap the Honda by a tenth.
23/27: We're hearing there are spits of rain around the back of the circuit.
22/27: Marquez is just weighing Viñales up here. This would be such a kick in the teeth for the Yamaha man if he didn't win this considering how he dominated warm-up and qualifying.
21/27: Miller steals 5th from Dovizioso at T10.
21/27: This is some ride by Bagnaia, who's passed both Miller and Dovizioso to sit 4th!
20/27: Marquez is closing in...
19/27: A really intelligent ride from Miller this, who's followed Dovizioso's lead and saved his rubber during the first laps. Now Dovizioso, Miller and Bagnaia have passed Rossi. Ducatis 4th, 5th and 6th.
18/27: As you were at the front, 0.1s separating Viñales and Marquez.
17/27: Another stealthy performance from Dovizioso here, who has passed Rins for 5th. Miller then bags 6th at the Suzuki's expense at T4. Rossi still 4th.
16/27: We now have an 8-rider fight for 4th, as Bagnaia and Mir have joined the party. Ros, Rin, Dov, Mil, Bag, Ian, A.Esp & Mir are the names involved.
15/27: Marquez is really on the limit, giving everything to stay with Viñales. He doesn't need to do this, but as we've seen so often this year it's all about pride. Rossi is back to 4th.
14/27: Viñales is putting the hammer down, posting the fastest lap on lap 13, eking out a 0.3s advantage. Crutchlow's losing big time in 3rd, now 1s off Marquez who's giving everything to rally and keep Viñales in reach.
