MotoGP Philip Island 2016 Results

LCR Honda’s Cal Crutchlow won his second race of the 2016 MotoGP season with an epic ride at the famed Phillip Island Circuit in Australia. He had a little help when recently crowned 2016 MotoGP champion, Marc Marquez crashed out of the lead on the seventh lap, (Check out that link for the crash sequence photos). Crutchlow went on to run a lonely race out front while Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi and Suzuki’s Maverick Vinales battled their way through the pack into second and third place respectively.

American Nicky Hayden was called up from his job racing World Superbikes to replace the injured Dani Pedrosa on the Factory Repsol Honda squad. He had a great race going and was battling for seventh place with Jack Miller, Scott Redding and Brad Smith on the final lap. That was the point when Miller decided it was time to cram his non-factory Honda inside Hayden at full-lean, causing Nick to crash out just a few turns from the end. Was Hayden happy afterwards? Not really.
