The motorcycle racing fans get to see another exciting round of the Grand Prix on Sunday, August 31st, at Silverstone when reigning MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez and Movistar Yamaha MotoGP’s Jorge Lorenzo battled hard to win the race. However, unlike 2013 this time it was Marc’s turn to return the favour as he made a forceful move on Lorenzo which enabled him to gain the lead and win the race eventually. With this victory Marquez has become the first rider after Valentino Rossi to win 11 races in a single season. Most importantly, Marc was able to reach the top step of the podium once again after finishing fifth in Czech Republic Grand Prix.
Whereas, Lorenzo ended up securing the second place as he crossed the finish line just 0.732 seconds after Marquez. The third rider to cross the finish line was none other than Lorenzo’s own partner Rossi as he finished before Honda’s Dani Pedrosa and Ducati’s Andrea Divizioso. However, the real battle which everyone enjoyed was between Marc and Lorenzo, as the two riders showed their true class. Lorenzo made a brilliant start as he gained the lead in the early phase of the race. On the other hand, Marquez also managed to remain with the leading riders at the start of the race before he reached close to Lorenzo.
Unfortunately, Marc failed to leave Lorenzo behind in spite of having more pace as he made slight mistakes on two occasions that allowed Jorge to overtake him twice. The battle between the two riders continued till the last laps. In fact, at one stage of the race the two made a slight contact as well before Marquez finally made the move and left the Yamaha rider behind. On the other side, 7-time World Champion Rossi was chased hard by Marc’s teammate Pedrosa and Dovizioso, but the doctor never allowed them to outstrip him and seized the third position. The doctor also made a new record of 246 starts in MotoGP by racing at the Silverstone circuit.
Monster Yamaha Tech3’s Pol Espargaro also produced a solid result as he was the sixth rider to cross the chequered flag. LCR Honda MotoGP’s Stefan Bradl, Pramac Racing’s Andrea Iannone, NGM Forward Racing’s Aleix Espargaro finished seventh, eighth and ninth respectively. While, Scotting Redding of GO&FUN Honda Gresini was the only British rider who finished among the top ten riders as he crossed the line in tenth place. The other three British riders partaking in the competition were not as impressive as Redding was.
Cal Crutchlow of Ducati finished 12th, Leon Camier of Drive M7 Aspar remained 16th, while Bradley Smith of Monster Yamaha Tech3 was 22nd. GO&FUN Honda Gresini’s Alvaro Bautista failed to turn his dream into reality as he crashed in the last phase of the race and failed to finish among the top ten riders. However, you can turn your dream into reality by purchasing a high quality motorcycle helmet, gear or accessory at unbelievable prices from J&S Accessories’ store.
