Gran Premi Monster Energy de Catalunya (EP7)
Résumé de l'épisode 7
Movistar Yamaha's Lorenzo led from start to finish for the fourth race in succession to close the gap on his teammate Rossi in the standings to just one point. The Spaniard controlled the race from the front to claim the second 1-2 of the season for his Factory Yamaha team. Repsol Honda's Márquez was battling with Lorenzo for the lead in the opening stages of the 25-lap race but he crashed out at turn 10 on the third lap. That error put another big dent in the Repsol Honda rider's bid for a third straight premier class title, with Márquez now 69 points adrift of Rossi following his third crash in seven races. Track temperatures this afternoon reached almost 50 degrees and were the hottest recorded over the weekend, as the MotoGP-E race at the Gran Premi Monster Energy de Catalunya got underway in front of a packed crowd of over 97,000 fans. Lorenzo led into the first corner as Team Suzuki Ecstar's pole-man Aleix Espargaró dropped down to 9th after he struggled to propel his GSX-RR off the line.
