A brilliant start from Alvaro Bautista saw him move up from the fourth row to third at turn one.
However, Andrea Iannone went backwards from second as he dropped more than seven positions.
A very surprising turn of events, polesitter Toprak Razgatlioglu was overtaken by both factory Ducati riders, with Nicolo Bulega taking the lead.
Razgatlioglu fought back straight away as he returned the favour on Bautista [lap three] at turn one, while Sam Lowes and Scott Redding suffered crashes after coming to blows.
Lowes highsided heading into the first corner before his machine wiped out Redding.
On lap four Razgatlioglu regained the lead with a stunning move under braking at turn one.
On lap five a mistake from Bautista allowed Alex Lowes to challenge him for third, but the two-time world champion was aggressive in his defence.
Trying to gain P2 on the final lap, Bautista made a huge error as he pushed Bulega wide before crashing out of contention.
