Moto3 Motegi: uitslag race
16 oktober 2016
Enea Bastianini heeft in Motegi zijn allereerste overwinning van het seizoen in de Moto3 gerealiseerd. De Gresini Racing Moto3 coureur ging in de laatste ronde kersverse wereldkampioen Brad Binder voorbij en werd met een minieme voorsprong van 17 duizendste seconde als winnaar afgevlagd. Hiroki Ono finishte op de derde plaats, maar werd na afgelood gediskwalificeerd vanwege te laag gewicht, waardoor de derde en laatste podiumplaats in handen van Nicolo Bulega kwam.
