500 cc race report

Wayne Gardner on pole, but Eddie Lawson gets the start from Wayne Rainey and Kevin Schwantz.

Back in 6th place, Gardner is almost cut-off by Pierfrancesco Chili who tries a block pass on him; Gardner shakes a fist.

Schwantz gets around Lawson for 1st, but Lawson looks like he’s not going to let it go. Gardner catches up to make it a trio, while Lawson retakes the lead.

Randy Mamola is hot-dogging, deliberately sliding the rear.

Schwantz and Gardner go at it for 2nd place. Mamola almost highsides trying to impress the crowd, but doesn’t learn his lesson; on a left-hander he looks over his shoulder and immediately slides the bike into a highside. Schwantz will do something similar next year at Phillip Island.

Rainey retires with a punctured tire.
