500 Cc Race Report
Kevin Schwantz on pole, Wayne Rainey 0.02 seconds back in 2nd, Mick Doohan 1 second down in 6th. John Kocinski gets the start from 3rd over Wayne Gardner, Doohan and Rainey.
Kocinski opens up a small gap to Schwantz, then a gap to a 3-man fight for 3rd between Rainey, Gardner and Doohan.
Schwantz takes the lead from Kocinski as Rainey arrives to make it a trio. Doohan makes it a quartet on lap 7.
Rainey and Schwantz drop Doohan and Kocinski, and they are swapping the lead often.
On the last lap approaching the Melbourne Hairpin, from far behind Schwantz swoops in on Rainey on the brakes and passes on the outside to take the win easily.

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or report:
“When at last in a race a new principle appears, an idea—that conserves it; ideas only save races.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Men are born to write. The gardener saves every slip, and seed, and peach-stone: his vocation is to be a planter of plants. Not less does the writer attend his affair. Whatever he beholds or experiences, comes to him as a model, and sits for its picture. He counts it all nonsense that they say, that some things are undescribable. He believes that all that can be thought can be written, first or last; and he would report the Holy Ghost, or attempt it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
