Spain's Alex Rins (C) celebrates

Spain's Alex Rins led throughout for a commanding victory in the Australian Moto2 Grand Prix at Phillip Island on Sunday.

Rins jumped off the pole on his Kalex and gave no one a chance to post a 6.633-second victory over Britain's Sam Lowes with Italian Lorenzo Baldassarri third.

It was Rins's second victory in his rookie Moto2 season and followed his Moto3 win at the same track two years ago.

This season's Moto2 world champion Frenchman Johann Zarco did not threaten and finished seventh.
