The Yamaha Factory Racing rider started second but took immediate
advantage of a mistake by pole-sitter Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team),
who ran wide at Turn 1.
“I knew it was going to be a really hard race because it got much hotter than it had been in the morning,” the Mallorcan said after the race. “In the morning we were quite fast; we were also fast in the afternoon, but not the same – three or four tenths slower.
“Dani was following me for about 13 laps, but on the 13th I pushed a little bit more – to be about three tenths faster - and it seems he gave up a little bit, so it was much easier from then.”
Heading to Round 6 in Barcelona, Lorenzo has moved to within 12 points of Pedrosa atop the standings, jumping Honda’s Marc Marquez who crashed at Mugello on Sunday.
