Just under the one second difference was Alvaro Bautista who finish ahead of a resurgent Cal Crutchlow.
Stefan Bradl was seventh followed by the two factory Ducatis of Nicky Hayden and Andrea DoviziosoThe tenth spot went to the always impressive Aleix Espargaro who left behind him Pramac Ducati’s Andrea Iannone (11th) and Michele Pirro (12th).
