Dovizioso extends title race
Print Edition
ANDREA Dovizioso won a rainy Malaysian Grand Prix yesterday to keep the MotoGP title race alive as Marc Marquez’s coronation was delayed with a fourth-place finish. Italian Dovizioso overtook teammate Jorge Lorenzo with four laps remaining to claim his sixth win of the campaign at Sepang circuit and give Ducati a 1-2 finish for the first time this year. Johann Zarco grabbed third on his non-works Yamaha, nursing a soft rear tire to the finish, frustrating Marquez’s hopes of sealing his fourth MotoGP title with a race to spare. Dovizioso’s win is only likely to stall the championship leader’s triumph for another two weeks as Honda-riding Marquez will take a 21-point lead over the Italian into the final race in Valencia. Reigning champion Marquez moved to 282 points and with 25 up for grabs in Spain, should wrap up the title if his bike stays on two wheels.
