Valentino Rossi of Italy held off Yamaha teammate Jorge Lorenzo in a wheel-to-wheel last lap to win the German Grand Prix on Sunday.
With his fourth win of the season, Rossi extended his overall lead over Lorenzo and now has 176 points to the Spaniard’s 162.
The Spaniard in turn lies14 points ahead of Stoner as the paddock moves straight on to the UK for the British Grand Prix at Donington Park.
“I think this was a great race for everyone because there were all four leading riders of the championship, fighting very closely and all in strong form. We knew that they would all be tough to beat today so I am very pleased about this win, I rode very well and my team worked brilliantly all weekend to find the right setting.” said Valentino Rossi.
This is my fourth win of the year and I really think that our Yamaha is a fantastic bike this season. I think races like this are great for the sport. Now we have a small advantage in the championship and we’re going straight to Donington, one of my favourite tracks where I really hope I can win after a few bad years without a victory!”
