Wayne Rainey takes a big highside in qualifying, breaking his ribs, wrist and injuring his knee again but racing anyway. “Mentally I was down, probably the worst I had ever been in my GP career. I’d screwed myself up trying to race with Doohan. And I didn’t feel I was getting the support from Yamaha. I was still on the same bike, it was still slow.”. [Scott, Michael: "Wayne Rainey", page 169. Haynes Publishing, 1997.]

Mick Doohan on pole; John Kocinski takes the start but gives up the lead to Doohan quickly.

Doohan gets a gap to Kevin Schwantz, then the rest. Rainey retires from the race: “I ended up pulling in, for the first time in my career, because I was just too hurt to continue. [...] I knew anything could happen, but the only thing for me would be if Mick made a huge mistake. That was possible because I knew he only thought about being the fastest guy, winning every race and devastating everybody.” [Ibid., pages 169-170.]

The fight for 3rd between Àlex Crivillé, Wayne Gardner and Kocinski goes to experience over youth.
