A good battle to the end, with Lorenzo taking the prize! Rossi and Bautista duke it out again with Rossi beating him out. Good action!
You could see how precise Lorenzo was in the corners, knowing that the Yamaha can carry more corner speed than the Hondas. He knew exactly how to leverage that to his advantage, since the Hondas had the upper hand in the straight-aways.
