Jorge Lorenzo<\/a>\u2018s win was a much needed one as he needed to make up some ground on MotoGP<\/a> world championship leader Dani Pedrosa<\/a>. Thanks to a change in pace midway through the race, he could achieve this. M\u00e1rquez crashed out when he was in second place.<\/p>\n

Lorenzo was aggressive from the start. He could not allow Pedrosa to dictate the race pace and indeed almost clipped him as he overtook him on the second bend. Behind them, M\u00e1rquez made an outstanding start to the race moving up from sixth to third place. He also caught up with the two lead riders and managed to stick close to them throughout.<\/p>\n

The stands fell silent when Valentino Rossi hit the ground. Bautista<\/a> failed to see the Italian on a bend, colliding with him and sending both riders to the tarmac. A huge disappointment for the home fans.<\/p>\n

M\u00e1rquez stuck to the script until he was informed that Crutchlow was gaining ground on him. After numerous attempts, he overtook Pedrosa in an outstanding move on the chicane. The stands erupted.<\/p>\n

However, Marc crashed out with three laps to go when he had all but secured second place. He was physically unhurt, but mentally furious.<\/p>\n

Lorenzo is now 12 points adrift of Pedrosa, who will lead the world championship going into his home race, Montmel\u00f3. M\u00e1rquez is 26 points off the pace. \u2013 Marca<\/a><\/p>\n
