Wayne Gardner crashes in practice and is unable to make the start. Wayne Rainey gains the race lead from the start over pole-sitter Schwantz, who is also passed by Lawson followed by Christian Sarron, Pierfrancesco Chili, Kevin Magee. Schwantz gets past Lawson and Rainey for the lead, while Sarron settles into fourth with a growing gap back to fifth place. Lawson passes Rainey for second and then gets past Schwantz for the lead. The battle for fifth is split between Ron Haslam, Chili and Magee. Lawson and Schwantz leave Rainey behind as they start to encounter back-marker traffic. Lawson need only finish just behind Rainey in the remaining two races, but it looks like he wants the win today, staying fast enough to keep Schwantz behind him for a little, until Schwantz overtakes again. Niall Mackenzie moves up to fifth spot, ahead of Haslam, and Chili. Schwantz gains from Lawson, who is fighting for grip further back. Despite Sarron catching Rainey, team orders allow Rainey to retain third position. Schwantz finishes first, followed by Lawson and Rainey in second and third respectively. After this race Lawson held a 15.5 point lead on Rainey in the standings. 500 cc classification Pos.
