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.
