Today’s MotoGP race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway saw Jorge Lorenzo win the race and re-open the championship when Valentino Rossi who was points leader crashed out.
Dani Pedrosa who was leading the race followed by Rossi and Lorenzo, lost his front during lap 3 and slide across the track, but was able to get back on his Honda and rejoin the race in 17th, and finish in 10th after pipping Chris Vermeulen at the finish line.
Pedrosa’s crash left the Yamaha duo to battle it out. Lorenzo passed Rossi on lap 9 and one lap later Rossi’s front folded and found himself in the gravel, he too was able to return to the race in 16th place, but after 3 laps had to return to the pits with a damaged throttle.
