Marquez continues his victories! No three in a row at Silverstone for Lorenzo.

The Qualififications

Lorenzo was one of the first to start. In his track, he was followed by Dovizioso. It seemed Dani Pedrosa, winner of last race, didn’t had the feeling of Brno. He kept shaking his head. His teammate Marquez pushed his bike to the limit, in the turns, where he had to reduce, he cutted them. Lorenzo was “living in his own world” while Rossi started his lap. Eventually, Marquez made his 10^th pole position of the season. Also Dovizioso and his Ducati bike did a very good job. 2^nd . 3^rd Lorenzo. Rossi just made it to the second row we also had a crash of A. Iannone. Rider ok but only qualified tenth.

But all in all they were all satisfied with their place.

You could see that on the many wheelies.

Silverstone race. 

After a somewhat nervous Warm Up, the bikes and their riders were waiting on the quenching lights. Lore”nzo took that whole shot with both his hands and drove into the 19 laps during race of Silverstone. He was followed by Marquez. Then came Aleix Espargaro with on his heels Dovizioso, Rossi and Smith. Rossi wasn’t very pleased between Dovizioso and Smith but when he planned to attack, Espargaro (A) was overtaken by Dovizioso and so HE had to deal with Rossi. His respond to Vale’s attempts was a nudge and since then they switched places a couple times. Eventually, The Doctor was able to pass him. And like it wasn’t enough, also Pedrosa over took Espargaro. Because Dovizioso took his turn too wide, Rossi was able to take that 3^rd place. On the straight line, Marquez his Honda was very fast and came really close to Lorenzo his Yamaha, but the corner came too fast to give Marquez a chance. There was a gap between Marquez and Rossi of 1.066 seconds. Also Smith and Iannone were starting to get tired of each other they touched a few times and Iannonen won the fight. 12 laps to go and Lorenzo still had the leadership in his trusted Silverstone. But he couldn’t lose Marquez.

Pedrosa over took Rossi. On the attitude of the bikes you could see the circuit was a little bit bumpy. Rossi his attempts to pass Pedrosa failed until the Honda rider took the outside of the turn and Rossi the inside. And when Rossi does that, there is no possibility of beating him.

Little fact: Marquez drove the fastest lap (2:01.980).

Speaking of which, he finally attacted Lorenzo in the 12^th lap. Lorenzo knew that that was the thing he should have avoid. Lorenzo passed Marquez again, driven by hunger for that victory. The whole race was divided in 8 groups. Marquez didn’t agreed with 2^nd place and tried to take the leadership by passing Lorenzo AGAIN through a small pass through but they touched. And that’s something Lorenzo doesn’t like at all! But he wasn’t able to pass Marquez because he needed to dodging him. Marquez smelled his 11^th victory and no one would stop him. Silverstone was become his. Lorenzo finished 2^nd, Rossi 3^rd and Pedrosa 4^th.
