19/23

The battle for third is getting very exciting indeed - just three quarters of a second separates Vazquez, Cortese, Espargaro and Smith.

15/23 

Terol leads by 0.219 from Marquez with Espargaro now over a second adrift.

13/23 

Marquez puts half a second on his rivals over the course of the lap - is this a decisive move?

7/23 

The leaders just ease off a little. They are testing each other out, seeing what each other have in their locker.

6/23 

Terol and Marquez have put the hammer down and are stretching away at the front. The Aprilia man clearly making a concerted effort to escape - a 1:43.6 for the race leader, fastest lap.

5/23 

Terol hits the front! He dives up the inside of Marquez and makes it stick. But can he escape?

4/23 

Bradley Smith us still in sixth, while Sandro Cortese has joined the leading group which is now five strong.

3/23 

Marquez has opened up just a smidge of a lead at the front, but Terol, Espargaro and Vazquez are still very much in the hunt.
