Reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo cut compatriot Dani Pedrosa’s lead in the championship standings to just seven points with his third career win at the Catalunya MotoGP on Sunday.
The 26-year-old Spaniard, who was winning for the third time this season following his victories in the Qatar and Italian Grand Prix’, moved from third on the grid to first on his Yamaha before the first corner and was never overtaken.
Pedrosa meanwhile extended his run of podium finishes to five races as he held off a late charge from his Honda teammate Marc Marquez to finish second with the 20-year-old rookie back in third.
