Alpinestars Weekender 17 AUGUST 2015
LORENZO UNTOUCHABLE IN BRNO
Jorge Lorenzo emphatically won the MotoGP of the Czech Republic to put himself joint
top of the title standings with teammate Valentino Rossi. Jorge pulled away from the
pack in the first lap and, as at Indianapolis last weekend, fought a long battle with Marc
Marquez. But, unlike last time out, Jorge managed his times on the softer tire
compound, charging into an unassailable lead for his fifth win of the season.
MARQUEZ MOVES IN ON TOP PAIR
With Jorge tied with team-mate Rossi at the top of the standings, Marquez's second
place in Brno means he moves closer to the Yamaha pair; clawing back much needed
points, he is now 52 points behind with seven rounds to go.
BASTIANINI PODIUMS AT BRNO
Gresini Racing’s Enea Bastianini took an 11-point chunk out of Danny Kent's Moto3
championship lead by placing second in Brno behind Niccolo Antonelli. There are only
45 points separating the pair with seven GPs remaining.
BARCIA DELIVERS PODIUM AT UTAH
At the penultimate round of the Pro Motocross 450cc Championship at Tooele, Utah
Justin Barcia claimed an overall third behind Ryan Dungey and Ken Roczen. In the 250s
it finished Jeremy Martin, Marvin Musquin and Cooper Webb.
BUSCH TAKES TRUCK SERIES WIN
Kyle Busch took his second victory in the Camping World Truck Series race at Michigan
International Speedway. Kyle has 44 career wins to date in the series, and means he has
now won in all race divisions at the iconic track.
