MOTO3

Romano Fenati kept his faint title hopes alive with a superb wet-weather victory at Motegi. Joan Mir arrived needing only to finish second to wrap up the title with three rounds remaining, but could do no better than 17th in the tricky conditions. Meanwhile, Fenati raced to a resounding four-second win over Niccolo Antonelli, cutting his deficit to Mir in the points from 80 to 55 with 75 still up for grabs. Marco Bezzecchi finished third.
