Surprise! It’s not raining

The track for the Japanese grand prix was a bit of a gobbler, especially as yesterday was rained off and practice was hard to get. A big crash at the back on lap 1/20 of Moto3, and turn 9 claimed more than its share of victims.
    Four off the front, with Guevara leading, became 3 when Masia crashed out with 3 to go. Garcia’s 4th place at the head of the chase group left him with a faint hope for the season. McPhee was 4th for a while but finished 7th.
