500 cc race report

Beattie and Chandler get a small gap, then Beattie starts pulling away.

Schwantz, Chandler, Rainey are closing on Beattie. Doohan goes out with a mechanical. Freddie Spencer crashes out hard.

Schwantz arrives and passes into 1st. Rainey, desperate to get to the leaders, brushes Chandler's front tire with his knee as he passes into 2nd, then passes Schwantz for 1st, but cannot hold him off.
