Lorenzo is cutting into Pedrosa's lead, but not fast enough to threaten for the win. Four seconds the hap now.
Dovizioso's challenge might just be fading. Seven tenths now the difference between Rossi and his countryman.
Rossi continues to fend off Dovizioso, but otherwise there is not much action at the business end, with the positions looking pretty settled.
A very sensible race from Jorge Lorenzo, who is riding to a solitary second place. Another step towards the world title.
Unfortunately, the latest on Shoya Tomizawa is that he is in a very serious condition following his crash in the Moto2 race.
Elsewhere there is a good battle for ninth between Barbera, Melandri and Espargaro, with De Puniet and Aoyama not far back.
