Pedrosa shines and wins at MotoGP Jerez, with controversy between Márquez and Lorenzo
The MotoGP World Championship has held the third round of the season at the Jerez Circuit, where Dani Pedrosa secured victory, completing the podium with Marc Márquez and Jorge Lorenzo. After a very exciting and interesting race, and with great interest in seeing our riders in full action.
The MotoGP World Championship has wrapped up the action of the Motorcycle World Championship at the Jerez Circuit, with Dani Pedrosa winning this third round of the season in a race full of action, Marc Márquez finishing second and Jorge Lorenzo completing the podium. These three riders were the winners at the Spanish cathedral of motorcycle racing.
Pedrosa got a very good start, and the one from Honda took the first position, but pole-sitter Jorge Lorenzo overtook him in the first few corners and began to pull away. Pedrosa, however, would not let him go and stuck to his rear wheel, while we saw an exciting battle between Márquez and Rossi, with a couple of brutal overtakes between them.
Pedrosa overtook the world champion with 21 laps to go, passing Lorenzo on the inside after Lorenzo had eased off a little, riding at 1:40 laps. This prompted the 26 to decide to pass him and set his own pace, leaving Lorenzo behind and Márquez, who was closing in very strongly after his fight with Rossi, so the three of them occupied the podium positions.
With 16 laps to go we witnessed a monumental, brutal, exciting battle between Márquez and Lorenzo. The 93 passed the Mallorcan several times, but could not get past him in that stretch of fighting. The rookie is clearly very eager. Meanwhile, Álvaro Bautista overtook Crutchlow for fifth place and fought with the Briton to try to reach fourth place, held by Valentino Rossi.
With this situation and 14 laps to go, things calmed down a little, with a brilliant Pedrosa leading like clockwork, Lorenzo second and Márquez third, a bit more relaxed and trying to catch the 26. Suddenly Márquez lost quite a bit of distance, had several scares at the limit and held back, but with 9 laps to go the newcomer got back on the tail of the World Champion, making for maximum excitement. Up front, Pedrosa was in control without problems and maintaining his gap.
Finally the last lap arrived, and we saw an extreme finish, at the limit, at the maximum, with Pedrosa winning in style, and a finish at the corner where Jorge Lorenzo reminded us a lot of 2005 with Rossi-Gibernau, as Márquez went into that last corner rather tightly and pushed Lorenzo off the line, which left the 93 second and Lorenzo third. There could be a stir, although for now nothing has been confirmed.
Special mention goes to Pedrosa’s clockwork race, Márquez’s hunger and Lorenzo’s head. The rest of the top 10 was completed by Rossi 4th, Crutchlow 5th, Bautista 6th, Hayden 7th, Dovi 8th, Espargaró 9th and Smith 10th. Héctor Barberá finished 12th, while our Espargaró was the best CRT. There were also many crashes in this race, starting with Yonny Hernández, as well as Randy de Puniet, Andrea Iannone, Lukas Pesek and Stefan Bradl.

¡¡tenía que llegar, con tres pilotos españoles luchando en cada carrera por el mundial, solo era cuestión de tiempo que llegara la polémica, solo espero que esto no pase factura en el resto del campeonato para ninguno de los dos ni haga que revivamos el distanciamiento total que había antaño entre Pedrosa y Lorenzo y ahora sea entre Lorenzo y Marquez. Me ha sorprendido Dani, no esperaba una victoria suya en Jerez
Hola Francisco Javier,
No creo que llegue a esos extremos, Lorenzo ahora es más maduro, y lo demostró el domingo sin hacer declaraciones al respecto, porque es normal estar “caliente” y decir cosas más allá. Para mi los tres pilotos que ahora mismo están dando espectáculo en MotoGP tienen la cabeza muy bien puesta y saben mantener una situación de tranquilidad. Aunque nunca se sabe…
Que mundial nos espera!
saludos
Gloryyyy, echo de menos un posicionamiento claro de los entendidos en la materia ¿era o no era un adelantamiento ilegal?. No me valen respuestas tipo “adelantamiento al límite” “esto es Moto GP” “Márquez es muy agresivo y aprovecho la mínima puerta abierta” y similares ☺
Hola José,
Puff es complicado, a ver adelantamiento ilegal no es, porque los comisarios de MotoGP lo estuvieron estudiando y decidieron que no era ilegal y que no tenían que sancionar, pero que estaba al límite si que lo está.
La parte positiva es que ninguno de los 2 se fue al suelo, si se hubiera caído alguno entonces seguramente la canción habría cambiado, pero nunca lo sabremos.
Saludos

psss!! que te crees que no lo sabía??!! ese Gloryyy pocos lo hacen 😛
A ti te pareció legal o no?
pocos y afortunados, yo que pensaba que era el único. 🙂
Adelantamiento completamente legal, Lorenzo estaba ya sobrepasado, no debió seguir con su trayectoria puesto que ésta estaba ocupada. Si es cierto que Márquez entró colado, pues perfecto, haberle dejado que pasara largo y se fuera contra la valla, y haberle superado acto seguido. 🙁
Solo hay polémica para los que les interesa favorecerla, o para los acérrimos de uno u otro bando. 🙂
