Álvaro Bautista
Jorge Lorenzo took the victory, ahead of pole sitter Dani Pedrosa, and Cal Crutchlow. Valentino Rossi and Álvaro Bautista collided on lap 1, the barriers being torn apart on impact, and Marc Márquez slid wide into the gravel trap with 3 laps to go, suffering his first MotoGP retirement, whilst riding in a comfortable second place.
