MotoGP USA: Lorenzo vant, Rossi på tredje!

Lorenzo dominerte løpet som vanlig, mens teamrival Rossi hadde en tøffere dag på jobben lenger bak i feltet. Da Dani Pedrosa kjørte av så han imidlertid sin sjanse og tok sikte på Dovizioso og tredjeplassen. Den planen lyktes han med, til tross for store smerter på grunn av det sju uker ferske benbruddet.

Rossi nummer 3, Tid +13.420:
«The start of the race was very hard for me because I had a lot of pain and I was far from the podium. But then I saw Pedrosa on the gravel and I just had to try to catch Dovizioso! I just pushed as hard as I could for a few laps and that brought me closer to him and then I couldn’t give up, somehow I caught him and it was a great feeling to pass him to take third. It’s a great result after my injury and it felt so good to be back on the podium in front of the fans. There are so many people I have to thank who have helped me to get back to this position. I am very happy that we have some time off now because I have a lot of work to do on my body to try to be back to my best for Brno, which I love.
