MotoGP leader Valentino Rossi extended his advantage over Yamaha team mate Jorge Lorenzo by winning the San Marino Grand Prix in front of his home crowd on Sunday.
World champion Rossi, now 30 points clear of the Spaniard with four races left, started on pole for the first time at Misano but quickly dropped down to fourth before battling back up to first where he then sped away from the field. Lorenzo, who triumphed at Indianapolis last month when Rossi crashed, finished second after winning his duel with compatriot Dani Pedrosa.
