Championship standings after the race (500cc)

Below are the standings for the top five riders and constructors after round three has concluded.[6]

  • Note: Only the top five positions are included for both sets of standings.

Notes
  1. Ángel Nieto, Jr. received a 30-second penalty for overtaking under yellow flags.[5]
gollark: Honestly it doesn't seem useful for *that*, either.
gollark: I can see it being used for specialty applications like that, sure, but it does *not* seem useful in a generic router-type device.
gollark: It honestly seems mostly pointless though, given that it doesn't go through walls and apparently works at roughly... cable ranges.
gollark: I've never heard it called WiFi type C, I thought it was just 802.11ad or something.
gollark: I like space too, but it turns out I can get basically the same information in half the time because it's a slow video.]
