The factory Yamaha YZR500 is on Dunlops and has a very rigid chassis which causes chatter. Wayne Rainey: “This was for sure the worst bike I’d ever ridden. […] On Dunlops on the wobbly, slow old bike I could ride the crap out of it. I could make it corner the way I wanted it to. Now that feeling was gone.” [Scott, Michael. "Wayne Rainey: His Own Story". Page 175. Sparkford: Haynes Publishing, 1997.]

4-column grid. Kevin Schwantz on pole; Doug Chandler gets the start from Daryl Beattie, Mick Doohan, Rainey and Kevin Schwantz.

Beattie and Chandler get a small gap, then Beattie starts pulling away.

Schwantz, Chandler, Rainey are closing on Beattie. Doohan goes out with a mechanical. Freddie Spencer crashes out hard.

Schwantz arrives and passes into 1st. Rainey, desperate to get to the leaders, brushes Chandler’s front tire with his knee as he passes into 2nd, then passes Schwantz for 1st, but can’t hold him off.
