Voir 2010 MotoGP Highlights - Episode 10

Rain turned to sun in time for a race that saw an early battle turn into solid finishes for the podium placed riders. The sun was shining in stark contrast to the fears of poor weather that had preceded the race as just over 148,000 enthusiastic fans packed out the Brno circuit, and Lorenzo engaged in an early battle with rival Dani Pedrosa– who started from pole position – for the lead. Andrea Dovizioso went down inside the opening three laps, managing to avoid collisions with a number of oncoming bikes while stranded in the middle of the track coming out of turn nine. The Italian rejoined the back of the race but was forced to retire shortly after. Lorenzo and Pedrosa exchanged the fastest lap time in the preliminary stages of the race as they set the pace but the Championship leader slowly began to pull away, the pair well ahead of Casey Stoner in third place. The riders became more separated as the race reached its finale, and Lorenzo cruised across the line 5.494s ahead of Pedrosa while the Repsol Honda rider was followed onto the podium by Stoner, who finished third at almost six seconds back. In Moto2 Toni Elias slotted pass Andrea Iannone on the penultimate lap to take the race win. In 125cc Nico Terol took a dominant victory after a good tyre choice in wet conditions.
