Japanese Moto3, Motegi - Race Results

Drama at Motegi means the Moto3 title top three are covered by just five points heading into the Valencia season finale!

Isaac Vinales fell on the opening lap and brought down title leader Luis Salom, who re-joined at the back of the field - but crashed out while pushing hard to recover positions.

Alex Rins, who looked set to take a substantial points lead, then fell from third late in the race - after which team-mate Alex Marquez beat Maverick Vinales in a photo finish for his first ever GP win.

Salom now holds a two-point lead over Vinales, with Rins five points from the top...
