The Black Mamba strikes again!

Yesterday, the riders got together in the Czech Brno.

The qualifications made clear that Yamaha rider Jorge Lorenzo was ready to beat the competition. He was the only rider who managed to get his best round ridden in less than 1.55.00min.

Marquez was qualified 2^nd and Rossi completed the front row.

A magnificent start for Lorenzo, who took the hole shot, and Marquez, who followed closely. Unfortunately Rossi had missed his start a bit and chased the Spanish bulls from behind the red Ducati of Dovizioso. 

Eventually, after a bit pushing and searching, Rossi managed to pass Dovi and started his pursuit.

But the gap had grown to more than 5sec.

Maybe we all expected an attack from Marquez, but he just wasn’t able to oppress the Black Mamba, especially when Lorenzo drove around the circuit like a preprogrammed robot.

Marquez lost his grip on the Yamaha and let a 2.5sec gap enter. 

Our Spanish gladiator took his well-deserved victory with proud and stands now on top, together with his team mate Rossi, of the World Championship. Marquez took 2^nd place, Rossi ended up 3^rd.
