MotoGP - Yamaha Racing - Rossi Continues Third-Place Podium Streak in Catalunya
Race
Movistar Yamaha MotoGP's #valentinorossi has taken his third consecutive third-place finish in the 2018 #MotoGP World Championship at today's Gran Premi Monster Energy de #Catalunya. Teammate #maverickvinales endured a tough start at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. He placed mid-pack after the start but made up positions in the second half of the race to take sixth place crossing the finish line.
Rossi had a good start from seventh on the grid and stormed to fifth going into Turn 1. One lap in, he passed Andrea Iannone and was in pursuit of the three-rider front group. He wasn't quite able to match their pace at the early stages, but kept piling on the pressure, making sure he never lost touch.
With Andrea Dovizioso crashing out in lap 9, the Doctor moved up to third place. With a 3.5s gap to the leaders and over 2.5s to the rider behind him, the remaining 15 laps were a lonely ride for the Italian. He focused on maintaining the advantage and secured his third consecutive third-place finish, with a 6.098s margin to first.
Viñales had trouble getting away from fourth place on the starting grid and fell back to tenth position. He passed Bradley Smith on lap 4, and after Dovizioso crashed out the Spaniard soon overtook Iannone. He moved up to seventh and got into a battle with fellow Yamaha rider #johannzarco. He had to let the Monster Yamaha Tech3 rider through, but cleverly stayed on his tail.
