Wayne Rainey experienced a big highside during qualifying, leading to multiple injuries, including broken ribs and wrist along with injuring his knee. Despite his injuries, he decided to race, stating, "Mentally, I was down, probably the worst I had ever been in my GP career. I had screwed myself up trying to race with Doohan, and I didn't feel I was getting the support from Yamaha. I was still on the same bike, it was still slow."
Mick Doohan was on pole. John Kocinski took the lead at the start but gave it up to Doohan quickly. Doohan quickly reclaimed it and created a gap over Kevin Schwantz, with the rest trailing behind. Rainey eventually retired from the race, noting, "I ended up pulling in, for the first time in my career, because I was just too hurt to continue... I knew anything could happen, but the only thing for me would be if Mick made a huge mistake. That was possible because I knew he only focused solely on being the fastest guy, winning every race and devastating everybody."
The fight for third between Àlex Crivillé, Wayne Gardner and Kocinski went to experience over youth.
