500cc race
[edit]Wayne Rainey took a big highside in qualifying and crashed, breaking his ribs, wrist and injuring his knee, but decided to race 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."[4]: 169
Mick Doohan was on pole. John Kocinski took the lead at the start but gave it up to Doohan quickly. Doohan got a gap to Kevin Schwantz, then the rest followed. Rainey retired 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."[4]: 169–170
The fight for third between Àlex Crivillé, Wayne Gardner and Kocinski went to experience over youth.
