Sometime after Stoner was out paced by Lorenzo, the Honda racer was pushed back even further to third place by Pedrosa. Pedrosa had overtaken Lorenzo before the Yamaha rider had shot past Stoner but Lorenzo was soon seen overtaking both the riders without much of a dogfight.Meanwhile, The Doctor and his Ducati was seen out of form and struggling at 10^th place. Yamaha rider Ben Spies finished the race on the tail of Rossi at 11^th place.
