Shell Advance Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix (EP17)
Résumé de l'épisode 17
The MotoGP race at the Shell Advance Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix was won by MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez in the scorching afternoon heat at Sepang, with Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo also on the podium. A huge crowd of more than 80,000 fans witnessed a great MotoGP race with Marquez winning for the first time since Silverstone - riding superbly at round 17 and coming from behind after dropping back from pole on the first lap. Lorenzo took the early initiative in the race after a first crash by Dani Pedrosa who lost the front around turn 15 while in second place. Pedrosa recovered to 11th before suffering a second crash. Rossi took the lead at midrace stage as he got in front of Lorenzo and was followed through by Marquez. Two laps later Marquez pushed in front of the Italian and he built up a sufficient gap to defend his lead. Marquez's victory is the 12th of his second season in MotoGP, equaling Mick Doohan's record of most premier class victories in a single season. The result seals the premier class constructor's title for Honda and ends a run of four Yamaha victories.
