Mathematically the 125cc Championship still had some fight left in it….even though it was a long shot.

Johann Zarco went in to the race with a 20 point deficit on Championship leader Nico Terol, which meant that Zarco basically had to win, whilst hoping that Terol experienced difficulties during the race.

As it turned out, it was was Zarco that had the issues. After a good start, Zarco crashed out early, basically handing the Championship to Terol. Zarco tried to get his bike back up, but it was full of dirt and gravel. Race over.

Terol worked his way steadily to the front end of the grid, and the race developed into a battle between Nico Terol, Maverick Vinales, Sandro Cortese, and Hector Faubel.

It was Maverick Vinales who came out on top - he eventually managed to pull out a lead of a few seconds to take victory and become the last ever 125 GP winner.

Pole sitter Danny Webb managed to lead the first lap, but he was soon surrounded by the rest of the riders and by lap 10 he had slipped back to 10th place. His race would get worse, and Webb crashed out with 12 laps to go.
