A thrilling 250cc race saw Hiroshi Aoyama take a step closer to the World Championship, and Alvaro Bautista effectively end his title hopes with a third consecutive race crash.

From lap 11 the battle really began to heat up with Simoncelli and Aoyama trading places with some tight and aggressive racing. Eventually Aoyama came out on top, and it was left to Simoncelli and Barbera to fight to 2nd place, which was eventually decided by a photo finish in favour of Barbera.
