Lorenzo wins in Yamaha farewell
Print Edition
SPAIN’S Ducati-bound triple MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo signed off from Yamaha with a farewell victory, in his 250th grand prix, in front of his home crowd at the Valencia Grand Prix, the season-ender, yesterday.
Lorenzo, who had already handed over his title to compatriot Marc Marquez, held off a late charge from Honda’s newly-crowned triple champion to win by 1.185 seconds at the Ricardo Tormo track in eastern Spain.
Italian Andrea Iannone, who is making way for Lorenzo at Ducati and joining Suzuki in 2017, finished third to deny Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi a final podium appearance of the season.
Lorenzo’s victory was Yamaha’s first since June, and his own third of the year, but Marquez made him sweat before he could start celebrating his 44th win.
The younger Spaniard, second on the grid with Lorenzo on pole, fell back to sixth at the start as Iannone and Rossi surged but regained second with 10 laps to go and then steadily closed the gap.
