Deniz Oncu snatches victory from Ayumu Sasaki on the final turns of a soaking Australian Moto3 Grand Prix.
Oncu's late pass also prevented Sasaki from taking the world championship lead, but he has now closed to within four points of a subdued Jaume Masia.
The leading trio were reduced to two when home star Joel Kelso lost touch with Sasaki and Oncu in the final laps, Kelso settling for a safe debut podium.
Dani Holgado and Diogo Moieria were among four riders to fall on the sighting lap.
Title contender Holgado, who suffered a small cut to his face, got his damaged bike back to the grid for hasty repairs while Moieira had to start from pit lane.
