Rookie Alonso Lopez romps to his second Moto2 victory of the season at Phillip Island while drama in the title chase saw Augusto Fernandez crash out of third behind team-mate Pedro Acosta with 9 laps to go.
That meant instead of Fernandez's world championship lead over Ai Ogura mushrooming, as was set to be the case, the Japanese has retaken the advantage by 3.5 points despite a lowly 11th place (which would have been worse without accidents ahead).
With a long lap penalty to serve for a practice clash with Celestino Vietti, Lopez bolted from third on the grid into a commanding early lead, allowing the Misano winner to easily keep P1 despite serving his long lap.
While Lopez never looked back with fellow newcomer Acosta likewise a comfortable second after Fernandez's exit (then wearing a Remy Gardner t-shirt in parc ferme) Jake Dixon battled from 14th on the grid to complete the podium, a result the Englishman dedicated to Chrissy Rouse.
Jorge Navarro required a stretcher after falling and being hit by Simone Corsi, with Tony Arbolino another early casualty after crashing out of second place. Former title challenger Celestino Vietti was also on the long DNF list.
