Johann Zarco pulled away at the top of the Moto2 championship when the Frenchman surged to victory at a soaking German Grand Prix on Sunday, as his nearest rivals crashed out.
The reigning world champion pipped fellow Kalex rider and home hope Jonas Folger to the line at the sodden Sachsenring circuit, with the Spaniard Julian Simon third on the podium, in the ninth race of the season.
Zarco's thrilling victory - he was just 0.059 seconds ahead of the German - was his fourth race win this season and propelled him to 151 championship points.
Second in the standings is Spain's Alex Rins, who suffered a heavy crash that ended his race with only three laps to go when riding in third. He walked away from the smash.
Rins is second overall on 126 points, with Britain's Sam Lowes third on 121 points, after he too failed to finish in Germany when he tumbled in the wet.
