Joe Roberts claims his first grand prix victory in an interrupted Portuguese Moto2 Grand Prix, which saw just 17 riders make the 7-lap restart.
The rest of the field - including previous race leaders Aron Canet, Cameron Beaubier and Ai Ogura - were left watching from the sidelines after falling during the chaos caused by a sudden rain shower, then being unable to get their bikes back to the pits in time.
Jake Dixon started from pole for the restart, but fell while leading on the opening lap.
