500 Cc Race Report
Wayne Rainey on pole, Mick Doohan 2nd at .5 second, John Kocinski 3rd and Kevin Schwantz 4th on the grid. Doohan gets the start from Schwantz, Eddie Lawson and Rainey. After a bad start, Kocinski crashes out hard on the first lap.
By the end of the first lap, Rainey is showing Doohan a front wheel and it’s a 2-man fight for 1st very early with a 4-man group fighting for 3rd.
Rainey takes the lead from Doohan and Lawson and Schwantz remain behind to determine 3rd place.
One the last lap, Rainey expertly zigzags across the Mistral Straight, preventing Doohan from draft-passing, and Lawson wins his fight from Schwantz.
