The first turns go to Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey and Schwantz. Christian Sarron watches from fourth as the three ahead scrape fairings. The quartet get well clear, but wet patches begin to appear on the track. Rainey and Schwantz raise their hands to stop the race, but ahead of them Lawson and Sarron continue at race pace.
