MARC MARQUEZ WINS 13TH RACE OF SEASON IN VALENCIA
MOTOGP FINAL ROUND RECORD BREAKING
Marquez, Rossi and Pedrosa
USPA NEWS -
Marquez (Honda) is the only rider to win 13 races in the same season. The italian, Valentino Rossi (#46 Yamaha) comes in at second place for a great come back. Infact, Rossi confirms his second place in Final World Standings.
The race begins with a spectacular start by Iannone that takes the lead in front of pole-sitter Valentino Rossi. It seemed he could keep the lead on the rest of the field but unfortunately the rider from Vasto (Abbruzzo), was slowed down due to tire problems after only 11 laps.
There were other "twists" during the race: rain and uncertain weather conditions kept riders and teams on edge, especially Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha) who thought it would be safer and strategically correct to switch to the motorcycle with rain set-up. This turned out to be a poor decision on behalf of the team and forced Lorenzo to retire after loosing 10 seconds per lap due to tire consumption on what turned out to be a dry track.
