MotoGP 2013: Mugello Results

Expectations were running high for nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi going into his home round of the MotoGP World Championship at Mugello. Fans of The Doctor would, however only get to see him complete three corners of the 23 lap race before a coming together with Gresini Honda’s Alvaro Bautista saw both riders in the gravel.

Rossi was not the only big name to crash out of the race, as Marc Marquez, who suffered a huge crash down the main straight during free practice, crashed out of a podium position with just a few laps to go despite having a comfortable gap to Repsol Honda team-mate Dani Pedrosa.

This left it up to Jorge Lorenzo to take a typically calculated victory after muscling past Pedrosa in the first corner. The reigning champion rode supremely from start to finish, and leapfrogs the non-scoring Marquez for second in the championship. Cal Crutchlow took the final podium spot in yet another strong race for the British rider. He was closing quickly on the leaders in the latter stages but didn’t quite have enough to take second from Pedrosa.
