  • 2017 Catalan GP Race Report-
    Andrea Dovizioso takes a scintillating second win in a row

2017 Catalan GP Race Report-
Andrea Dovizioso takes a scintillating second win in a row

Andrea Dovizioso continued his Italian GP form heading in to the Catalan GP, as he took a dominating win at Circuit de Barcelona. Marc Marquez seemed very content with a second place finish, as he suffered 4 crashes this race weekend. Pole setter Dani Pedrosa finished the race at P3, dropping off from the lead.

As the lights went off, Jorge Lorenzo got the holeshot leading the race for a good handful of laps, only to drop behind later on. Pedrosa soon hammered down on Lorenzo to re take his starting position at the front. Marc Marquez also fought his way to the front making some aggressive moves on fellow Spaniard Lorenzo. Valentino Rossi soon recovered 5 positions starting from thirteenth, who finished at P8 as the chequered flag was out.

Jorge Lorenzo crossed the line at P4, which marked his second best result on the Italian machine. Monster Yamaha Tech3 teammates put down a tough fight for P5, though the flying French man Johann Zarco held his nerves to finish in front of Jonas Folger. Alvaro Bautista had yet another great day, as he finished at P7 on the previous gen Ducati.

It was a disaster for the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP garage, as both Valentino Rossi and Maverick Viñales suffered a lot ending the race at P8 and P10 respectively. Hector Barbera scored some important points, as he finished at P9. Cal Crutchlow also had a disastrous weekend as he was seen crossing the line at P12. Loris Baz, Scott Redding, Karel Abraham and Tito Rabat complete the top 15 of the points table.

Front row starter Danilo Petrucci also suffered a disaster as he slid out of the podium contention. Jack Miller had yet another crash, while Aleix Espargaro had a mechanical failure on his Aprilia RS-GP. Maverick Viñales still leads the Championship with 111 points, while Dovizioso retains his second position with 104 points to his name. Valentino Rossi drops down to fifth place, as Marquez and Pedrosa are in between. The next race is scheduled in two weeks time on June 25th at the TT Circuit Assen. Meanwhile stay tuned to BikesMedia for further updates on the 2017 MotoGP World Championship.
