:01:00. > :01:05.end of this 22 of the season, I will not be racing in the 2013

:01:36. > :01:45.young faces looking for it top ride And, of course, an old classic.
:01:45. > :01:50.Valentino Rossi isn't finished yet, On French shores, Jorge Lorenzo
:01:50. > :01:57.navigated his way to the top. Today, he returns home to defend his
:01:57. > :02:07.position. Yes, as you may have guessed, we
:02:07. > :02:10.
:02:10. > :02:20.are in Barcelona for a Round 5 of the MotoGP season. Jorge Lorenzo
:02:20. > :02:22.
:02:22. > :02:31.has an eight-point cushion at the sneaking up in the 6th, wasn't it
:02:31. > :02:41.great? To see bossy macro back on a MotoGP podium two weeks ago. --
:02:41. > :02:46.
:02:46. > :02:51.When push comes to shove, he is up there. Jeremy Burgess said, the
:02:51. > :02:58.problem is we have a summer sport. They have to get it fixed up for
:02:58. > :03:03.the driver. I can see them put in in sprinklers! It is great to see
:03:03. > :03:09.that colour and movement we get from Valentino at the front. People
:03:09. > :03:18.were saying, how good was that, it was because he was in it. It was
:03:18. > :03:25.strange to commentate. The good news is he is spending the next two
:03:25. > :03:35.years in MotoGP and for a certain Valentino Rossi, the search for
:03:35. > :03:47.
:03:47. > :03:51.Hello, I am Mr Rossi. His talent is amazing, he is nine
:03:51. > :03:56.term world champion. He wins lots of raters. The he entertained
:03:57. > :04:00.people world wide. Valentino Rossi has been the best jam hint I have
:04:00. > :04:09.never commentated on. Be it is amazing to have an Italian rider
:04:09. > :04:15.like him, on an Italian bike. was important that Ducati and Rossi
:04:15. > :04:20.could become a dream come true. But it did not happen. I think that the
:04:20. > :04:26.project is going to take a little bit longer than it did in the past.
:04:26. > :04:33.And, the challenge was to try something again. Probably didn't
:04:33. > :04:38.expect it to be quite as difficult at it -- as it has been. It was
:04:38. > :04:43.unlikely in hindsight to be the dream run be had in Yamaha anyway,
:04:44. > :04:49.Valentino was fairly vocal about where we were after the first race.
:04:49. > :04:58.The first two razors were very bad. But, from Estoril, we have worked
:04:58. > :05:02.in a better way, we are growing up. This year, we are struggling a
:05:02. > :05:07.little bit. I know Ducati are making an effort to improve. The
:05:07. > :05:17.feeling you have or don't have is difficult to bring. His character
:05:17. > :05:24.
:05:24. > :05:30.is very strong, he'd always tries his best. Like I say, we want to
:05:30. > :05:34.see him more on the podium. I don't think he has backed out to be
:05:34. > :05:41.something different from what he was. He still feels in perfect
:05:41. > :05:47.shape, he wants the right bike to win. To show to all of the fans at
:05:47. > :05:52.there, and Ducati, that Valentino Rossi is still a force to be
:05:52. > :05:59.reckoned with. The podium, up on the wet weather,
:05:59. > :06:09.was fantastic. Our potential is, during the season, to make another
:06:09. > :06:29.
:06:29. > :06:39.step, to fight with Honda and Will meet -- will we see more of
:06:39. > :06:45.
:06:45. > :06:55.that cheeky smile? I am sure. You remember Mr Rossi? I was an
:06:55. > :06:58.
:06:58. > :07:03.Astra Borrie -- Astro Boy guy. heard, Ducati are working very hard.
:07:03. > :07:09.But it is not much closer. tested after the last race, back to
:07:09. > :07:16.square one. But they are testing again. They have testing on Monday
:07:16. > :07:20.and Wednesday. They took a bite from Yamaha and went from losing,
:07:20. > :07:25.to winning. They have to do it the other way. You have to wish them
:07:25. > :07:33.luck, we do need him at the front. We want him back up there. The is
:07:33. > :07:38.still the most popular person. The queues are extraordinarily. --
:07:38. > :07:43.extraordinary. Casey Stoner on pole position,
:07:43. > :07:47.exhibition stuff at the weekend. he loves this circuit which is bad
:07:47. > :07:52.news for everyone else. Jorge Lorenzo felt disappointed not to
:07:52. > :07:59.get pole position. Cal Crutchlow, front row, how about that? Casey
:07:59. > :08:09.Stoner it isn't relaxing in his retirement year, 110%. No backing
:08:09. > :08:14.
:08:14. > :08:20.off. Cal Crutchlow in the front row. Three times on the front row.
:08:20. > :08:25.lastest in warm-up, in damp conditions. He is so solid.
:08:25. > :08:32.Honestly, he is as solid as I have ever seen a British rider. He is
:08:32. > :08:40.really on the pace. In front of Ben Spies. The second quickest Yamaha.
:08:40. > :08:47.He is only two-tenths away from pole position. That was the warm-up
:08:47. > :08:54.this morning. Treacherous conditions, slow, slippery.
:08:54. > :08:58.Horrible to watch. Cal Crutchlow, again, fastest. Ellison went down
:08:58. > :09:07.and wrecked a bike, but they have him fixed up again. Treacherous
:09:07. > :09:15.conditions. Ellison, one of the few riders to crash. The sudden rain
:09:15. > :09:22.makes the surface so greasy. Everyone was having trouble. Where
:09:22. > :09:27.Ellison was, he was taking it slowly. They were having big moment.
:09:27. > :09:30.The track is Creasy, with a little bit of rain. It looks like the sun
:09:30. > :09:37.is trying to come through. It will still be different conditions to
:09:37. > :09:44.yesterday. It may help some. Whether they will use the soft or
:09:44. > :09:49.the hard tyre macro. The track temperature will be down. The air
:09:49. > :09:55.temperature is only 27, a lot easier than yesterday. We will keep
:09:55. > :10:00.you posted. Our focus is on the race today. A lot of the talk this
:10:00. > :10:07.weekend it is about next year. After about bombshell from Casey
:10:07. > :10:11.Stoner in France, the rider market is into a frenzy, and Jorge Lorenzo
:10:11. > :10:14.holds all of the aces which made it difficult if you are his boss at
:10:14. > :10:24.Yamaha. Far I have to put myself in Honda's
:10:24. > :10:34.shoes, what would I do in their shoes? If you take Casey out of the
:10:34. > :10:36.
:10:36. > :10:42.occasion, -- equation, Church is in the running. Are you -- Jorge is in
:10:42. > :10:46.the running. A I am confident about a proposal.
:10:46. > :10:51.We can offer a very competitive package, with a team he knows well,
:10:52. > :10:59.on a bike performing well. The Yamaha proposal will be very, very
:10:59. > :11:06.good. Whether he accepts it or not, this is not in might influence.
:11:06. > :11:12.tricky one, but he is expecting an offer from Honda. What about the
:11:12. > :11:22.riders and their perspective? Lorenzo moves, everyone moves. He
:11:22. > :11:26.
:11:26. > :11:35.has it all his way. For Cal Crutchlow, it will be hard.
:11:35. > :11:39.Truthfully, you cannot replace him. He, and Dovizioso, if Bradley Smith
:11:39. > :11:47.moves up, this is a good opportunity. There is pressure for
:11:47. > :11:50.places. All the way down. That was the case after a few rounds for
:11:50. > :11:56.Ellison who got the word from his manager he needed to step his game
:11:56. > :12:02.up otherwise he would be replaced by Byrne. A tough call in that team.
:12:02. > :12:07.Isn't it amazing what fortify bits can do in racing?
:12:07. > :12:14.We are here in Barcelona, James. A beautiful day. I thought I would
:12:14. > :12:18.offer you a swap. I know you like mountain bike rising -- racing.
:12:18. > :12:28.That sounds quite a good deal to me, any excuse to get on a mountain
:12:28. > :12:34.
:12:34. > :12:39.James, up here at the Castle, not a bad you down. It is nice, I haven't
:12:39. > :12:47.seen this side of Barcelona before. Round 5, we have come here after a
:12:47. > :12:53.decent result in France, top CRT. It has been good. To go from a low
:12:53. > :12:58.point, and then to France, in one phrase, it has been good for the
:12:58. > :13:06.whole team, a morale-booster. I am looking forward to this brand, to
:13:06. > :13:16.carry on the momentum. And with Paul bird macro, after the
:13:16. > :13:21.
:13:21. > :13:31.speculation and whether -- Paul Bird. And questions about Byrne.
:13:31. > :13:35.What came out in the press was blown out of control. The damage
:13:35. > :13:41.was done. I went away for a week and didn't go near anyone and let
:13:41. > :13:47.things died down. The best way to recover from something like that is
:13:47. > :13:51.to prove a point, really. Tell me about the race? It was a fault on
:13:51. > :13:58.race for us watching, what was it like to ride? Our start wasn't that
:13:58. > :14:03.bad. In the first two corners, it was a case of tried to stay on the
:14:03. > :14:09.bike and chip away. I settled down and thought, let the group come to
:14:09. > :14:15.me. I found as of passing people, like Ben Spies. I didn't see him
:14:15. > :14:21.again. And then, I passed Karel Abraham, that was pretty good. I
:14:21. > :14:27.found a bit of confidence. It snowballed from there.
:14:27. > :14:35.Unfortunately, Petrucci went down. I took advantage of that. It was
:14:35. > :14:41.cat and mouse. Then I pulled away. It was epic. It must have been a
:14:41. > :14:49.big release from the tensions of the race and the weekend. Having
:14:49. > :14:55.that moment with the team. It was anything. Just crossing the line,
:14:55. > :14:59.anything disappeared, I felt 10 stone lighter. It was great. It was
:14:59. > :15:07.even better in the pit lane, I was heading for the garage and saw
:15:07. > :15:13.everyone cheering. I thought everyone looked so happy. I pulled
:15:13. > :15:19.into the parc ferme. And hadn't even realised. I thought it would
:15:19. > :15:28.be Hernandez. So, a double bonus. We will hopefully see more of that.
:15:28. > :15:35.James, show me a few of your skills on the bike. That sounds good to me,
:15:35. > :15:45.let us go. Straight. Lean back. You do it?
:15:45. > :15:48.
:15:48. > :15:58.your rear brake. Get out of your I think I will leave him to it,
:15:58. > :16:08.
:16:08. > :16:12.A real boost for James Ellison and things looking up here, too. I have
:16:12. > :16:20.run into Wayne Gardner at the edge of the grid, the 1987 world
:16:20. > :16:25.champion and Australian, too. What is your view about Casey's
:16:25. > :16:29.retirement? It's a sad to see as an Australian. He is at the top of his
:16:29. > :16:33.game but every rider has to make a decision at some stage and they all
:16:33. > :16:37.have different reasons for it. Obviously Casey has his and has
:16:37. > :16:47.called it a day. I found it a bit strange early in the year to be
:16:47. > :16:48.
:16:48. > :16:54.doing that but he obviously has his It will be a great loss for
:16:55. > :17:02.Australia, such a talented rider. He will show them how to do it
:17:02. > :17:09.today. It is a shame. Do you think he will stay strong from pole like
:17:09. > :17:16.last year? We vowed to doubt. I think the race is between those two.
:17:16. > :17:20.Casey will be hard to stop, now he has the pressure off, it feels
:17:20. > :17:25.better, you go out and try to prove it from there. Casey will be hard
:17:25. > :17:29.to stop but don't be surprised, I think Lorenzo is a very determined
:17:29. > :17:38.guy, a good friend of mine, he is helping my kids out as well. It is
:17:38. > :17:45.between those two but I think Cal Crutchlow as a weapon. It will be a
:17:45. > :17:48.good race. The best of luck with your lads racing over here. We have
:17:48. > :17:53.just relocated over here with my kids and they really want to go
:17:53. > :18:01.road racing so we decided to come here for it. We are doing well. The
:18:01. > :18:05.kids are doing great. It is a tough game over here in Spain but that is
:18:05. > :18:10.what we are here for, to judge ourselves on the competition. It is
:18:10. > :18:15.great to be here and the weather is good. Apart from this morning.
:18:15. > :18:25.has dried out and will be a great race. Thank you. All the best. I
:18:25. > :18:30.
:18:30. > :18:40.need to get to the front of this. Cal Crutchlow front row yet again.
:18:40. > :19:07.
:19:07. > :19:12.Casey Stoner scored a cab to's first ever pole at this track in
:19:12. > :19:18.2008. Well done, good to see you. The conditions are different to
:19:18. > :19:21.what we saw in qualifying yesterday? The rain at this morning
:19:21. > :19:30.will make things tricky and we don't know what the weather will do
:19:30. > :19:33.through the race. It might change the grip situation. We had been
:19:33. > :19:37.building up grip and rubber on the track and the rain will change that
:19:37. > :19:41.but everybody else's in the same position so we have to see what we
:19:41. > :19:45.can do. It is the best place to start from, we have to make sure we
:19:45. > :19:52.try to stay hidden first time. to see you have your brolly girl
:19:52. > :20:02.back. The area nice to have her back! Good to see you back. I take
:20:02. > :20:17.
:20:17. > :20:20.All on his lonesome further back in We were just remembering earlier
:20:20. > :20:25.that last year it you had broken your collarbone in qualifying, you
:20:25. > :20:29.were so desperate to come and start the race here against the advice of
:20:29. > :20:35.the medical staff. Now you're here, back from a collarbone injury, how
:20:35. > :20:40.do you feel? Pretty good except for my voice. I don't know what
:20:40. > :20:48.happened. I can't talk. The air- conditioner in the motor home!
:20:48. > :20:55.Sorry. It is not often that you are lost for words! You're not on
:20:55. > :21:01.painkillers now, are you? painkillers. I am on water. -- no
:21:01. > :21:05.painkillers. Or about the conditions now? -- what about the
:21:06. > :21:15.conditions now? We have a good setting so we should be OK. A good
:21:16. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:20.She does not take no for an answer. Another man who does not like
:21:20. > :21:24.talking now much but we will get a short word with Stefan Bradl, we
:21:24. > :21:28.have not spoken too much this season, how you like it, but you
:21:28. > :21:38.have made steady progress and this is your best grid so far. Good
:21:38. > :21:45.qualifying for us yesterday, we are The track condition is cooler. We
:21:45. > :21:50.will see. It is a big tyre choice now so let's wait and see. I cannot
:21:50. > :21:57.tell you much more. The IU during the step up to MotoGP? It is great
:21:57. > :22:05.for us. We are doing good and hopefully we can continue like that.
:22:05. > :22:12.Hopefully we can follow top guys. Good luck today. Great to have a
:22:12. > :22:16.German on the grid. Stefan went from pole position to take the race
:22:16. > :22:26.when Inamoto to end the often races better than he does qualify so keep
:22:26. > :22:38.
:22:38. > :22:42.an eye on him -- Inamoto 2. -- in He Mr last year due to a collarbone
:22:42. > :22:48.injury. He took victory here in 2008 and would love to do that
:22:48. > :22:57.again, I am sure. He is a definite contender. Does not seem to matter
:22:57. > :23:00.where he starts. Alongside him is Ben Spies, fourth on the grid. So
:23:00. > :23:06.close to ephemera start and he scored his first podium of 2011
:23:06. > :23:09.here last year so he likes this track. After a tough start to the
:23:09. > :23:19.season he is getting stronger and stronger and he is in line for a
:23:19. > :23:25.
:23:25. > :23:32.good result. Let's see if we can You have a look at him while I
:23:32. > :23:39.unceremoniously duck under this barrier. Back on the front row,
:23:39. > :23:43.excellent performance in just a second visit to this track...
:23:43. > :23:47.it is nice to be up here, we have steadily made progress over the
:23:47. > :23:51.weekend but it is a hot race now. Anything can happen but I am
:23:51. > :23:58.looking forward to it, I think we can do a good job. We lack in some
:23:58. > :24:06.areas yesterday and we tried to improve them today but we will see.
:24:06. > :24:11.What tyres are you running? steel brakes and the wet tyres.
:24:11. > :24:21.From that you will have to gather yourself your own thoughts. Thank
:24:21. > :24:26.
:24:26. > :24:30.I reckon he is going on the soft. Soft? OK, let's move on. Richard
:24:30. > :24:35.Phillips, managing director of Silverstone circuit, we were just
:24:35. > :24:38.talking to Cal Crutchlow there, Great British Hope, excitement for
:24:38. > :24:44.the British crumb Prix in two weeks... Absolutely. We have made
:24:44. > :24:49.some improvements since last year so a great race hopefully.
:24:49. > :24:55.Hopefully will go better for Cal Crutchlow than last year. We hope
:24:55. > :25:05.James will do well, too. If Calcot get on the podium today, that would
:25:05. > :25:14.
:25:14. > :25:24.be great. -- Coward code. -- Cal The big weekend for you guys. -- a
:25:24. > :25:27.
:25:27. > :25:31.The two main contenders, we mention them an earlier, Lorenzo, who lives
:25:31. > :25:36.in the city centre in Barcelona, a former winner here at this track
:25:36. > :25:44.and he could ever forget that last battle with Valentino Rossi in 2009
:25:44. > :25:50.when he lost that in second place. Casey Stoner won here last year.
:25:50. > :25:53.Looking like a hot favourite to do so again. Now we are getting into
:25:53. > :25:56.the moment where all the riders make their last minute mental
:25:56. > :26:06.preparations before the race starts. They all have their own little way
:26:06. > :26:07.
:26:07. > :26:15.of doing it. Try to keep it low key, because the next 45 minutes will be
:26:15. > :26:19.all hell breaking loose. Tries to relax, enjoy it, prepare myself,
:26:19. > :26:23.especially the first lap in my head. He I tried to look on the right
:26:23. > :26:27.side because my brother is there. Always before starting a look at
:26:27. > :26:31.him, he does something like this and I know everything will start.
:26:31. > :26:35.Tried to concentrate for the race, think about the first corner, the
:26:36. > :26:40.set-up, sometimes we talk about it because maybe the weather changes
:26:40. > :26:48.so we talk about whether to make adjustments. The sound of the
:26:48. > :26:56.engine is so high and we are not -- and we feel important, this is
:26:56. > :27:04.beautiful. The tension, your heart starts to beat. Make sure the
:27:04. > :27:12.clutch is good, the brakes are hot. Then go. I am close to my little
:27:12. > :27:16.brother and it always gives me goose bumps to see Aleix
:27:16. > :27:21.Espargaro's brother there. He has come after a huge crash, has come
:27:21. > :27:31.to give support to his Big Brother. Charlie, you are almost like
:27:31. > :27:34.
:27:34. > :27:38.Luckily I am the younger of the I can't wait for this one. I still
:27:38. > :27:43.think Dani Pedrosa will probably be first into term one. And absolutely.
:27:43. > :27:50.He had a moment in qualifying which was a really good lap, so 5th does
:27:50. > :27:56.not represent where he will be and he is good off the line anyway.
:27:56. > :28:00.Pretty much everyone has gone for the soft tyre, apart from Casey
:28:00. > :28:04.Stoner and Dani Pedrosa, they have gone for the hard option, front and
:28:04. > :28:09.rear tyre, meaning that they should be in better shape by the end of
:28:09. > :28:13.the race. It could be tricky the first couple of laps. That goes to
:28:13. > :28:17.show how a motorcycle and a riding style can change the tyre option
:28:17. > :28:21.you are going to use. I'm surprised Dani Pedrosa went for that hard
:28:21. > :28:24.option because he is a light guy. He said when he was running around

:28:41. > :28:44.Casey doing hard rear is no big surprise. We will see a proper drag
:28:44. > :28:50.race because you have got over a quarter of a mile flat out run, it
:28:50. > :28:54.is like being a sand upon nearly. They will get to 60 mph in about
:28:54. > :28:59.2.5 seconds. It does not seem that fast but the problem is getting one
:28:59. > :29:08.of these bikes of the line, the from real comes up so they need be
:29:08. > :29:12.and he will systems, the engine shutdown -- the front wheel. Up to
:29:12. > :29:17.100 miles an hour they will leave anything behind, even a Formula One
:29:17. > :29:22.hat -- Formula One car. The first corner here is long, down hill,
:29:22. > :29:32.there is quite a tricky bit, it is common to see drivers run wide
:29:32. > :29:35.
:29:35. > :29:38.When they come back from this warm- up lap they have to have those
:29:38. > :29:42.front carbon brakes up to temperature because the first time
:29:42. > :29:48.they will know if their work is when they squeeze them on. It could
:29:48. > :29:52.be about 180 miles an hour. It is tricky, you are trying to break as
:29:52. > :29:57.late as you possibly can but you do not know how the brakes will feel,
:29:57. > :30:04.how the tyres will feel, he will be in front of you, so it is a bit of
:30:04. > :30:12.a gamble. Alvaro Bautista is exemplifying long corners here at
:30:12. > :30:16.any other track. It is murder on the tyres. So some of the are
:30:16. > :30:20.running the asymmetric tyre, a much harder compound on the right hand
:30:20. > :30:24.side where it gets tortured, to try to leave another tier and the grid
:30:24. > :30:29.wear. This is a part of the track where we were having difficulty
:30:29. > :30:39.this morning, dropping away downhill off camber. It was greasy.
:30:39. > :30:44.
:30:44. > :30:49.We are hoping there will not be rain, that is the last things you
:30:49. > :30:54.need, as a driver, to have rain on your visor. It rained heavily prior
:30:54. > :31:02.to the warm-up session yesterday. Cal Crutchlow was fastest in that
:31:02. > :31:06.session. But now, on the grid, and as Charlie said, Dani Pedrosa is on
:31:06. > :31:11.the second row. He has been fairly good in the other sessions. Or of
:31:11. > :31:17.the qualifying sessions have been tight. The top 10 are covered by
:31:17. > :31:22.one second, very close. When we were chatting to Matt, only a few
:31:22. > :31:32.tenths. The fastest in qualifying was
:31:32. > :31:35.
:31:35. > :31:45.Valentino Rossi. But in 2004, showing those of old engines work
:31:45. > :31:59.
:31:59. > :32:07.as fast if not faster. Three. The Downhill, as we said, very, very
:32:07. > :32:12.fast indeed. Casey Stoner on pole position. But the guy next to him
:32:12. > :32:16.leads the Championship. Ready for the start, they all looked to get
:32:17. > :32:26.away neatly. Dani Pedrosa was tried to find his way through. Down the
:32:27. > :32:33.
:32:33. > :32:41.inside. I reckon he might get to guy who lost at birth. The Spaniard.
:32:41. > :32:49.Ben Spies on the outside. The long way to go. Ben Spies, I told you he
:32:49. > :32:53.was rejuvenated, he is on a mission. Cal Crutchlow making a move. Behind
:32:53. > :33:00.his team-mate, Dovizioso, tried to put pressure on Casey Stoner. How
:33:00. > :33:08.about that at the front? What a shovel. Nicky Hayden had a
:33:08. > :33:15.pretty good start. Jorge Lorenzo in the third. Cal Crutchlow is getting
:33:15. > :33:24.shovelled around, getting pushed back. It is busy, as we go over the
:33:24. > :33:31.next rise. Now we are climbing up again, a long back straight. I
:33:31. > :33:39.think that was colder. Bradl having a look. At think he is going to
:33:39. > :33:49.squeeze out Nicky Hayden. In front of Valentino Rossi. Cal Crutchlow
:33:49. > :33:54.
:33:54. > :34:04.sat behind Casey Stoner. As we go around the last. Have a look at
:34:04. > :34:26.
:34:26. > :34:33.that, at Ben Spies having a bid to show some good manners. Ben
:34:33. > :34:38.Spies, what is going on? He knows he needs a job, and... Going wide!
:34:38. > :34:44.Just got it back. A on board with Jorge Lorenzo. He will be in a
:34:44. > :34:54.hurry to get past. You will suspect he will be the faster ones it

:34:54. > :35:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:35:45. > :35:55.Dani Pedrosa is also on a hard at the brakes, the real wheel came up.
:35:55. > :36:08.
:36:08. > :36:14.43 for Dani Pedrosa. 42.94 Jorge a qualifying. Down in sixth
:36:14. > :36:23.position. Ben Spies moves into the lead but he can't hold it. He is
:36:23. > :36:29.down. From leading, to having to walk back to the track. How much
:36:29. > :36:39.bad luck and that man have? He just ran out wide. That was looking so
:36:39. > :36:45.
:36:45. > :36:55.is the end of the race for him. That was terrible, he was riding
:36:55. > :37:10.
:37:10. > :37:20.too much speed. On the edge. He just isn't getting anywhere at
:37:20. > :37:40.
:37:40. > :37:44.all. That has thrown a bit of light The straight down the inside.
:37:44. > :37:49.Bautista looked good in practice but in qualifying it was
:37:49. > :37:59.disappointing, he needs to do some work. The fastest lap is from Jorge
:37:59. > :38:04.
:38:04. > :38:14.Lorenzo. The record, 1:for 2.38 held by Dani Pedrosa. Cal Crutchlow,
:38:14. > :38:39.
:38:39. > :38:44.Spies ran a little bit hot, he was their legs, everybody kicking out.
:38:44. > :38:54.Something we didn't see until about three years ago. Valentino Rossi
:38:54. > :38:58.
:38:58. > :39:04.started it. Just to explain, it shifts the weight from your foot,
:39:04. > :39:14.to the top of your letter, and to the rear of the bike to keep the
:39:14. > :39:15.
:39:15. > :39:25.wheel down. Look at that. Jorge Lorenzo having a look. Dani Pedrosa,
:39:25. > :39:35.that is a part of his game. He had to square the corner. On
:39:35. > :39:48.
:39:48. > :39:58.this long corner, you won't go the today? He did. To close to the
:39:58. > :40:13.
:40:13. > :40:17.Honda. -- Too close. Look how bumpy lap is torturous to the human body.
:40:17. > :40:27.Hernandez getting tangled up with Espargaro. Did he get his foot in
:40:27. > :40:29.
:40:29. > :40:39.the wheel? That could have been a big it
:40:39. > :40:49.instant for Hernandez. Ellison is up to 13. Very close to being the
:40:49. > :41:08.
:41:08. > :41:18.top CRT bite. That will do nicely. stuff, he is on a charge. Then at
:41:18. > :41:40.
:41:40. > :41:46.like Jorge Lorenzo, number 99, in second place, running deep.
:41:46. > :41:54.Clinging on as opposed to looking over. I don't think he is finding
:41:54. > :42:02.it easy. At his burly stage, still 20 laps to run, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge
:42:02. > :42:12.Lorenzo, Dovizioso, that group is clearing. It doesn't look that way.
:42:12. > :42:32.
:42:32. > :42:42.Pedrosa nose in theory has the tyre that will help him keep the pace up.
:42:42. > :42:49.
:42:49. > :42:59.what doesn't want to -- Dani Pedrosa doesn't want to, he
:42:59. > :42:59.
:42:59. > :43:04.compromised his exit. Jorge Lorenzo, with a lovely pass. On the inside.
:43:04. > :43:14.Dani Pedrosa had to know where to go, a terrific move from Jorge
:43:14. > :43:28.
:43:28. > :43:32.Lorenzo. Speeds of over 200 mph, Crutchlow. Cal has moved back into
:43:32. > :43:38.fifth place. Stone a macro will have to really get his head down to
:43:38. > :43:44.catch up with those boys. They are two seconds down the road, Cal
:43:44. > :43:52.Crutchlow still staying in touch with stone a macro. You would
:43:52. > :44:02.expect stone a macro to close that gap down. Dani hung on a bit too
:44:02. > :44:09.
:44:09. > :44:15.long there. Nicely timed by Jorge Lorenzo. A tough pass, it gave him
:44:15. > :44:19.raising room. Let us see if Cal Crutchlow, can he claim on to the
:44:19. > :44:25.back of a Casey Stoner. You expect stone a macro to close down that
:44:25. > :44:35.gap, he has been fastest in the sessions, particularly when it
:44:35. > :44:35.
:44:35. > :44:40.counted in qualifying. On Nicky Hayden having a go there. Look at
:44:40. > :44:50.that, Casey Stoner just staying in touch. Valentino Rossi just moving
:44:50. > :44:55.in, the battle for seventh place. Getting Bradl behind him. A little
:44:55. > :45:05.clutch of Ducatis in a row. The Spaniard wanted to make a mark,
:45:05. > :45:05.
:45:05. > :45:09.Espargaro. Valentino Rossi, down the inside. It doesn't matter if
:45:09. > :45:19.you are slow in the middle of the corner, but the rider on the
:45:19. > :45:27.outside has no way to go. You squeeze them over. A nice move by
:45:28. > :45:37.the nine-times world champion. Bradl back in a position. Bossing
:45:38. > :45:44.
:45:44. > :45:54.macro moving up a spot. This trio Lorenzo. They were be interesting
:45:54. > :45:55.
:45:55. > :46:03.to see if Dani Pedrosa can hang on goes on and the others will drop
:46:03. > :46:08.away. Last time around Casey Stoner was 2.1, is he any closer? No. Not
:46:08. > :46:18.at all. These three are still pressing on. Casey Stoner and Cal
:46:18. > :46:21.
:46:21. > :46:25.Crutchlow are having a battle of their own for four. -- 4th. You can
:46:25. > :46:31.hear the headlines already - Casey Stoner has eased off because he has
:46:31. > :46:41.retired. It won't stop the headlines. He keeps talking about
:46:41. > :46:43.
:46:43. > :46:47.the chatter, everybody is talking issues there. If he gets chatter,
:46:48. > :46:56.that is about the time he gets it. The Cal Crutchlow is carrying the
:46:56. > :47:06.corner speed. That was a very close moment. Cal Crutchlow find in the
:47:06. > :47:23.
:47:23. > :47:30.world champion in his wake. -- their at 14th position. He is
:47:30. > :47:35.lapping faster than De Puniet. would be great to be the fastest
:47:35. > :47:39.CRT guy in the drive. Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner were
:47:39. > :47:42.complaining in the dry session of a lack of traction getting out of the
:47:42. > :47:52.corners and Stoner seem to think that was an even bigger thing for
:47:52. > :48:02.him than the chatter. All can Valentino Rossi do about Alvaro
:48:02. > :48:13.
:48:13. > :48:17.with different engine management systems, they worked on a softer
:48:17. > :48:21.rear swinging arm, aluminium version, Nicky Hayden said he found
:48:21. > :48:25.it too soft. You have to keep experimenting. Honda took three
:48:25. > :48:33.years to sort their chassis out and they have it working now. They have
:48:33. > :48:37.gone to a 1000 cc. You can transfer chassis technology because it is
:48:37. > :48:46.working very well. Dani Pedrosa is not letting this drop. All over the
:48:46. > :48:55.back of Lorenzo now. Yamaha, Han -- Honda, Yamaha. That is the front
:48:55. > :49:01.three. Good performance from Dovizioso. The start really paid
:49:01. > :49:05.dividends for him. And it was good for Ben Skype -- Ben Spies before
:49:05. > :49:13.he threw it away. What will he be thinking now? Down 11th place,
:49:13. > :49:23.when he was expecting to be. horrible thing for him is having to
:49:23. > :49:36.
:49:36. > :49:39.the bike, to accelerate so fast. Even now with the Boreham strip
:49:39. > :49:46.changing on these things, so there is a stroke compared to the old
:49:46. > :49:50.format of 800, it's still reds. They have dropped down a great deal
:49:50. > :49:56.from what they used to be. The acceleration factor, as soon as you
:49:56. > :50:05.hit the gear up you don't have to bang another one up. You were
:50:05. > :50:12.riding with the Dani Pedrosa down the hill last time. Ben Spies up
:50:12. > :50:16.into 12th place now. Last time when he did a 143, he should in theory
:50:16. > :50:20.get himself easily into the top 10 before the end of this race but you
:50:20. > :50:24.feel for him. When he finally started to find confidence, Ben
:50:24. > :50:30.Spies is back and 11th in the championship, not way you would
:50:30. > :50:40.expect to find him, he is a race winner. Things have not gone his
:50:40. > :50:40.
:50:40. > :50:50.way, he has been drifting the last few races. Dani Pedrosa is not
:50:50. > :51:03.
:51:03. > :51:09.guys, hanging in. A terrific ride. We know how good Randy De Puniet is,
:51:09. > :51:18.he is right there, he has been on the podium before, he has won two
:51:18. > :51:23.250 races round this track. I think Lorenzo gave him a bit of a run at
:51:23. > :51:30.this. He saw him move past and set up Dani Pedrosa. Lorenzo coming
:51:30. > :51:40.back. They did not look as if he thought -- Lorenzo fault that
:51:40. > :51:46.
:51:46. > :51:50.hour faster, you have to break that bit earlier, it nearly caught him
:51:51. > :51:58.out. Dovizioso did a cracking job there. Still very much in the
:51:58. > :52:01.picture. Sometimes it is easier not to set the pace, as long as you are
:52:01. > :52:05.confident enough that you can stay in touch with a guy that has just
:52:05. > :52:10.moved past year. Sometimes it is easier to get a measure of them,
:52:10. > :52:17.feel them out, go a couple of laps. You look to see where you are
:52:17. > :52:20.stronger, weaker, way you can learn from, save your tyres. It is about
:52:20. > :52:24.27 degrees out there but you can't follow behind, the engine starts
:52:24. > :52:27.getting too hot, you're in the warmer air without the cool breeze
:52:27. > :52:37.running through the radiators, it is vital to keep the temperature

:53:03. > :53:09.is there ever seen to be having a broken this, Broe the mat, but he
:53:10. > :53:16.is fit now, after the broken collarbone. Dovizioso will be all
:53:16. > :53:22.over him like a rash now. That was a big breathing space for Dani
:53:23. > :53:29.Pedrosa. Here is the moment again... Too late, maybe got the slipstream
:53:29. > :53:35.situation wrong there, got into the corner too hot, lost time on that.
:53:35. > :53:45.Dovizioso is coming for him. That has given Danny Bederus a bit of
:53:45. > :53:51.breathing space. We are about half race distance now. Who has got the
:53:51. > :53:59.physical strength to ride these bikes? It's would be a turn up for
:53:59. > :54:05.the books, last time round, the times between them were less than a
:54:05. > :54:12.tenth apart. The dye seems to be cast for Stone and Cal Crutchlow,
:54:12. > :54:16.some seconds down the road. A good job from Cal Crutchlow but what is
:54:16. > :54:19.up with Casey Stoner? I thought he would be the man, he did not get
:54:19. > :54:23.the start, went for the harder tyres, I think he must have some
:54:23. > :54:28.chatter issues, something is going on because we know he can lap
:54:29. > :54:34.faster than this. It seems he has not quite nailed that chatter
:54:34. > :54:44.situation, it turns up when it wants to. The crew are going to
:54:44. > :54:50.
:54:50. > :54:59.Stoner was circulating two seconds a lap faster than this in a bridge
:54:59. > :55:04.practice sessions. Cal Crutchlow, the honey badger, his new nickname.
:55:04. > :55:07.Is that a nickname he gave himself? Oh I think it probably is. He is a
:55:07. > :55:17.tough character and takes whatever he is given. Ben Spies moving back
:55:17. > :55:25.
:55:25. > :55:35.up through the field, going into he was passed by Lorenzo, if you

:55:58. > :56:04.Doni betrays a weave his way through there, cuts in front of Cal
:56:04. > :56:14.Crutchlow, then up the inside. what happened to Cal Crutchlow for
:56:14. > :56:24.him to get so shuffled back in turn one? We talk of traction controls,
:56:24. > :56:28.and he we systems, he is like a pot knife through butter. -- will

:56:38. > :56:39.
:56:39. > :56:43.then the system backs the engine down. He went too deep. I don't
:56:43. > :56:49.know if it cost him too much. He seemed to cut it back just about in
:56:49. > :56:59.time. The bike was sliding out from under him. Right on the limit their.
:56:59. > :57:04.
:57:04. > :57:11.because Cal Crutchlow is only one point in front of Dovizioso in the
:57:11. > :57:16.world championship. If they finish in that order, that will evaporate
:57:16. > :57:23.today. But look at this, you can visibly see Casey Stoner and Cal
:57:23. > :57:32.Crutchlow closed in on Dovizioso. Physically closer. Let's measure
:57:32. > :57:38.that. Dovizioso is falling back there. The gap between Casey Stoner
:57:38. > :57:46.and the frontrunners is the same. Dovizioso did a 145 last time, he
:57:46. > :57:56.made a mistake somewhere along the line. He had a slow lap last time
:57:56. > :57:58.
:57:58. > :58:02.have an issue? It does not look like Lorenzo the fended hard but
:58:02. > :58:09.running a couple of laps later he is given a real breather to Danny
:58:09. > :58:13.Petraeus and he will be going as hard as he can to chase him down.
:58:13. > :58:20.This would be Dani Pedrosa's first win of the season. He started off
:58:20. > :58:30.round one with a second, Spain, Portugal, third. Dovizioso has a
:58:30. > :58:37.
:58:37. > :58:47.problem. He is behind his previous that Cal Crutchlow has the same
:58:47. > :58:48.

:58:52. > :59:02.Crutchlow running very hot there, getting Casey Stoner underfoot.
:59:02. > :59:12.Stone was trying to get past. -- Stoner. This will be a red rag to

:59:22. > :59:28.able to Cal Crutchlow. -- a ball. - couple of corners there really give
:59:28. > :59:32.him an issue. It will be nice to get a podium before his home race
:59:32. > :59:41.coming up in a couple of weeks. Hopefully the crowds will turn out
:59:41. > :59:49.to cheer him on. That is the Casey Stoner eye view looking back to Cal
:59:49. > :59:59.Crutchlow. That is the corner he hates, this one, too. Lorenzo is

:00:05. > :00:09.wheel of Dovizioso and his running third. You can really see this

:03:56. > :04:01.Jorge Lorenzo. Squaring the corner. Maybe this is a dress rehearsal, it
:04:02. > :04:10.is possible if you run a little bit deeper in the bottom corner, you
:04:10. > :04:20.can run down into turn number four, and get a good square, into that
:04:20. > :04:29.
:04:29. > :04:36.hurt touching macro tight turn -- correction -- tight turn five.
:04:36. > :04:42.fantastic to hear both bikes there. Dani, squaring the corner, getting
:04:42. > :04:52.the bike in a pretty late, stopping it in the middle, by five
:04:52. > :04:53.
:04:53. > :05:03.kilometres an hour, to fire it back out. Generally, you do not get as
:05:03. > :05:09.
:05:09. > :05:17.If they're going to be really close, as you imagine they will be, Dani
:05:17. > :05:22.Pedrosa going in. I thought he had left the door open, he just managed
:05:22. > :05:28.to squeeze it out and kept Jorge Lorenzo out but he is trying the
:05:28. > :05:35.outside. Dani Pedrosa giving him racing room, but only just. Can he
:05:35. > :05:40.come back again? He is doing a really good job of it. Danny macro
:05:40. > :05:50.will be talking to himself, keep calm, get the breaking-point right.
:05:50. > :05:53.
:05:54. > :06:00.You are talking to yourself all the time. -- the braking point.
:06:00. > :06:06.Not everyone talks to themselves, just you! Probing around, at speeds
:06:06. > :06:15.like this, he needs to work at a good place to pass. That wasn't one
:06:15. > :06:22.of them, but it is normally a good one. Dani Pedrosa has carried the
:06:22. > :06:28.speed through. Jorge Lorenzo has been able to slip by. He has
:06:28. > :06:33.overheated his brain. There was a lot of friction. You remember these
:06:33. > :06:38.two when they first got into MotoGP, they wouldn't talk to each other.
:06:38. > :06:43.The King of Spain and had to get them to shake hands, I remember.
:06:43. > :06:49.Whether they start falling out again here? Jorge Lorenzo on the
:06:49. > :06:53.inside edge. My Grand Stand Me To is telling me he is the one who
:06:53. > :07:01.would be the popular winner, they have gone mad. They are both
:07:01. > :07:10.Spanish. The front wheel came up and slammed back down which caused
:07:10. > :07:20.an issue. It unsettled the bike. He ran deep into the bottom. The
:07:20. > :07:25.
:07:25. > :07:29.electronics in theory should have an electronic problem. A peculiar
:07:29. > :07:39.situation, up into third gear, the front came up, he had to back it
:07:39. > :07:48.
:07:48. > :07:55.Cal was able to carry the corner speed a lot better. He will have to
:07:55. > :08:05.do a desperate move. This is the battle for 4th. Casey Stoner is
:08:05. > :08:13.
:08:13. > :08:19.little bit deeper for bike number 35, Cal Crutchlow. Just in front of
:08:19. > :08:29.them, the other film half. A Honda in between holding them up. -- the
:08:29. > :08:39.
:08:39. > :08:49.corner. Turn number 13. Cal will want to know what is going on
:08:49. > :08:53.
:08:53. > :08:58.behind him. 332, speeds, for Cal Crutchlow. In a way, this is
:08:58. > :09:08.helping Dovizioso, they must be holding each other up. As they both
:09:08. > :09:26.
:09:26. > :09:31.slide through that right-hander's - Crutchlow, Casey Stoner it is in
:09:31. > :09:41.his way. You can't help but imagines if he could get on the
:09:41. > :09:42.
:09:42. > :09:52.terms and get past bike number one. Cal Crutchlow, the Coventry boy,
:09:52. > :09:53.
:09:53. > :10:00.moving to Ramsey it on the Isle of champion. Who would have thought
:10:00. > :10:10.this? A tremendous achievement, in his second year of MotoGP, Cal
:10:10. > :10:10.
:10:10. > :10:14.Crutchlow, through World Superbikes. He is so solid every week. Wet and
:10:14. > :10:23.dry conditions. Whatever you throw at him. I can tell you one thing.
:10:23. > :10:33.Dani Pedrosa is absolutely giving his best to Jorge Lorenzo. Whatever
:10:33. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:49.place, 12 seconds back. Look how much tighter he keeps his arm in,
:10:49. > :10:59.compared to Casey Stoner. A different riding style altogether.
:10:59. > :11:06.
:11:06. > :11:15.soft tyre, as we know almost all riders have. Except Pedro's own --
:11:15. > :11:25.Dani Pedrosa. This race has started to settle, in the last lap also --
:11:25. > :11:25.
:11:25. > :11:34.or so. This would be something for Jorge Lorenzo, to extend his lead
:11:34. > :11:44.in the Championship. The lap record is held by Dani Pedrosa in 2008.
:11:44. > :11:48.
:11:48. > :11:53.Casey Stoner can't quite bridge that gap. Casey Stoner has some
:11:53. > :11:58.issues, I'm convinced of that. Dovizioso might have his hands full
:11:58. > :12:05.in keeping them at bay, they're getting closer. They might run out
:12:05. > :12:15.of laps before they get on terms. Only two left. This is the battle
:12:15. > :12:17.
:12:17. > :12:27.for third. Bautista doing a great job. The Doctor shown he is the
:12:27. > :12:32.
:12:32. > :12:40.ride. Ben Spies was challenging for the lead at one point. A bit of
:12:40. > :12:50.elbowing, to get past Barbera. Getting it sorted out. A racing
:12:50. > :12:50.
:12:50. > :12:55.incident. That front brake lever guard almost came into play. Tenth
:12:55. > :13:02.position, all the way from last. That is some recovery. Fair play,
:13:02. > :13:12.do you think? I think so, he is on the inside. Barbera cannot get it
:13:12. > :13:15.
:13:15. > :13:22.stopped. The lever came close to getting jammed. It did its job.
:13:22. > :13:26.There it is, number 99, Jorge Lorenzo, keeping it tidy and
:13:26. > :13:32.smeared. His last lap. Jorge Lorenzo leads this Championship by
:13:32. > :13:39.eight points. Loads more at the end of this, poised for a went on the
:13:39. > :13:48.last lap. Casey Stoner, in fourth position.
:13:48. > :13:57.The last lap to go. 44, for Dani Pedrosa. 2.2 seconds advantage he
:13:57. > :14:03.has. It is all going on here. Ivan Silva getting past. Petrucci
:14:03. > :14:10.putting a move on him there. Back again they go, all the way through
:14:10. > :14:15.the field. That was a desperate move, running too deep. Again, CRT
:14:15. > :14:25.Racing, these things are getting faster and faster. This Yamaha will
:14:25. > :14:35.be good for Jarvis. Get that the contract signed, the best bike.
:14:35. > :14:35.
:14:35. > :14:40.Stay with Yamaha. Will they get pen to paper tonight?
:14:40. > :14:47.The crowd is really building, we can see them on the far hillside,
:14:47. > :14:51.getting excited. Only half a lap left, counting them done. Jorge
:14:51. > :14:59.Lorenzo will be delighted and relieved. Cal has dropped away from
:14:59. > :15:09.this. Casey Stoner is on the back of Dovizioso. Riding with him now.
:15:09. > :15:11.
:15:11. > :15:17.Can he pull it back? Only a couple of corners left to do it.
:15:17. > :15:26.Helix -- he looks to have the speed at the moment. Across the line,
:15:26. > :15:35.Jorge Lorenzo! Dani Pedrosa will have to settle for second position.
:15:35. > :15:42.It is Dovizioso, he gets the space. Cal Crutchlow in fifth. A useful
:15:42. > :15:52.afternoon for Yamaha, and not bad for bossing macro, in seventh place.
:15:52. > :16:08.
:16:08. > :16:12.-- Valentino Rossi. As good as we seconds, Rossi is now chipping away
:16:12. > :16:19.by lap times are much more consistent. J is Ellison should not
:16:19. > :16:29.get over the line in 16th -- James Ellison. Nice to see Carol Abrahams
:16:29. > :16:36.
:16:36. > :16:45.finisher Wace -- a race. -- Karel position, not quite in the points
:16:45. > :16:51.but another solid ride from him in front of the others. Ben Spies
:16:51. > :16:56.there, a poignant moment there, the handshake with Lorenzo. You could
:16:56. > :17:04.see him shrug and Lorenzo has obviously asked him what happened?
:17:04. > :17:08.It is absolutely gutting, no two ways about it. What if? I guess he
:17:08. > :17:13.has proven he got the speed. He would be pleased about that, if you
:17:13. > :17:18.look at this time sprue the race, he was thereabouts, Colin Edwards
:17:18. > :17:23.entered the pits, did not finish. am not sure if there was a
:17:23. > :17:29.mechanical, or shoulder mechanical. We were talking about tyre choice,
:17:29. > :17:33.the last thing you expected would be for the Hondas to fall away at
:17:33. > :17:37.the end. It looked to me like some sort of electrical problem, the way
:17:37. > :17:40.he lost ground when the front wheel came up in the air accelerating
:17:40. > :17:44.down the hill, something you would not expect. But look like it called
:17:44. > :17:52.him by surprise, to come up all while to sort things out and at
:17:52. > :17:58.that stage Lorenzo has gone and into the distance. Cal Crutchlow in
:17:58. > :18:08.spite -- in spite of the lead he had, Cal Crutchlow has finished
:18:08. > :18:11.
:18:11. > :18:16.only 12 seconds of the win. He fell no shame in the race from Cal
:18:16. > :18:21.Crutchlow. That will drop him down to fifth in the championships.
:18:21. > :18:24.Dovizioso started off with a 6 in Qatar, seventh in Spain, seventh
:18:24. > :18:33.and Portugal and a third in France in those wet conditions. And
:18:33. > :18:36.another third now. Dovizioso there, and you have to say Cal Crutchlow,
:18:36. > :18:46.they are well-matched team mates, they push each other hard and
:18:46. > :18:55.
:18:55. > :19:02.podium therefore do bits here so of the season. As a interpretation of
:19:03. > :19:08.the body language? I'm guessing chatter. -- and interpretation.
:19:08. > :19:13.This is the first time in years he has not been on the podium. I
:19:13. > :19:22.forgot about Lorenzo laying the flak. You didn't used to like that.
:19:22. > :19:32.I still don't. He is allowed to, it is his home town -- home town.
:19:32. > :19:36.
:19:36. > :19:40.Spain, second in Portugal, a win in France and another one now, that
:19:40. > :19:44.really bugs him up nicely on the points from Casey Stoner now. A
:19:44. > :19:48.popular boy here and obviously the celebrations were well planned in
:19:48. > :19:58.advance so he had half an idea he would do well, hence the camera set
:19:58. > :20:24.
:20:24. > :20:27.up round the edge. Did it CAC- will good race. Dovizioso showing his
:20:27. > :20:34.class. Finished third in the championship last year, has made
:20:34. > :20:38.the transition from Honda to Yamal. And quite a result, he was actually
:20:39. > :20:48.a bit miffed not to have made poll, Lorenzo, because he felt strong
:20:49. > :21:06.
:21:06. > :21:16.pesky Australian really in my way every level! These are the
:21:16. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:21:58. > :22:03.That will be a pretty popular Lorenzo now 115 points in the
:22:03. > :22:12.championship, Casey Stoner second but 20 points adrift now. 95 points
:22:12. > :22:19.for him. Casey Stoner, 85. Dovizioso moves. Dani Pedrosa
:22:19. > :22:25.looked like he had it. He did. What happened there when Lorenzo past
:22:25. > :22:32.you? In a like an electrical problem. I had some issues at the
:22:33. > :22:38.end. I wanted to be faster and expected to be better but Lorenzo
:22:38. > :22:44.today was faster in the end. I did my best in the middle, I tried to
:22:44. > :22:50.attack, came back strong because he pushed me wide in the first turn. I
:22:50. > :22:56.almost lost control. A bit disappointed today. I wanted to win
:22:56. > :23:02.really bad. I'm trying to work harder for the next one.
:23:02. > :23:04.regulations on the podium. Dani Pedrosa not the only one side
:23:04. > :23:08.disappointed with an otherwise excellent result because Cal
:23:08. > :23:13.Crutchlow finished 5th, a top finish for you, but a sign of the
:23:13. > :23:20.times they you're not happy with that. It is not necessarily about
:23:20. > :23:25.being 5th, but letting the leaders go, but I the week did a good job.
:23:25. > :23:30.Second time here at the circuit, lacked a bit of experience but I
:23:30. > :23:33.should not have let the leaders go at the start. I ran wide, let Casey
:23:33. > :23:40.come past and thought we would catch the leaders faster than what
:23:40. > :23:47.we did. But I could not get around Casey at the end but a fantastic
:23:47. > :23:52.rate -- ride by Dovizioso. It shows what we are capable of. Maybe a bit
:23:52. > :23:57.of experience on the day paid off for him and for Casey. It will come
:23:57. > :24:02.round soon. Silverstone next so a good result here, another
:24:02. > :24:07.consistent result anyway set us up nicely for our home race. That is
:24:07. > :24:13.the name of the game. Well done. All set up for Silverstone and two
:24:13. > :24:21.weeks. He said it. A absolutely. Here we are thinking, hard luck,
:24:21. > :24:27.never mind, but he finished 5th. Cal Crutchlow very much in touch
:24:27. > :24:31.and it was all about the start. Dovizioso though, nice for his
:24:31. > :24:36.team-mate. Can read relations, first podium with Yamaha and what a
:24:36. > :24:44.race. So tough towards the end there. The end was very difficult
:24:44. > :24:54.because the grip was zero. We had very difficult but I am really
:24:54. > :25:01.happy because my speed was crossed with the fastest riders. I really
:25:01. > :25:06.want to understand tomorrow if we can do something from our bike, or
:25:06. > :25:15.something dropping, but I want to thank the team, Yamaha, the bike
:25:15. > :25:25.was good. We worked well. To arrive here, we made a good job. You did.
:25:25. > :25:26.
:25:27. > :25:36.Indeed. Good work. So as I was saying, the results are fantastic
:25:37. > :25:51.
:25:51. > :25:55.That was very encouraging staff from Cal Crutchlow and did you
:25:55. > :26:00.think about it, he just got slightly shuffled out at the start.
:26:00. > :26:05.That made life a bit difficult for him. I think he said in himself
:26:05. > :26:08.there, the experience told perhaps a bit at the start. It is difficult
:26:08. > :26:13.for him to be that much more decisive other star because when he
:26:13. > :26:16.does not want -- what he does not want to do is go and make a mistake
:26:16. > :26:20.and take someone else out. At this stage of the season, consistently
:26:20. > :26:25.building and now with his home race at a track he knows so well, it
:26:25. > :26:33.really bodes well for the British Grand Prix in a couple of weeks'
:26:33. > :26:38.time. Surely the happiest man here at the moment? Congratulations, a
:26:38. > :26:43.home win, a tough race, you really have to fight for it. Thank you. It
:26:43. > :26:53.has been a tough race because of a lot of work, very complicated,
:26:53. > :27:00.mainly at the beginning with Ben and Danny, they were very close. --
:27:00. > :27:05.Dani Pedrosa. I waited for my a opportunity then after I waited for
:27:05. > :27:12.one mistake from Danny Petraeus or to take my opportunity.
:27:12. > :27:15.regulations. -- Danny Petraeus are. They fantastic performance from
:27:15. > :27:19.Lorenzo and a big result for the championship because let's not
:27:19. > :27:27.forget that with Casey finishing of the podium that really extensors
:27:27. > :27:31.lead. 25 points is a win, so almost a race win in front and Dani
:27:31. > :27:41.Pedrosa is only 10 points behind Casey, so what is really tight.
:27:41. > :27:44.
:27:44. > :27:51.is great to see this guy in full He held on to that for so long and
:27:51. > :27:55.really pushed it. That gave Lorenzo quite a gap. He has a score to
:27:55. > :28:00.settle as well. Especially after last year as Silverstone, the race
:28:00. > :28:03.which really screwed his championship. A was such a fast
:28:03. > :28:10.crash, that screaming right hand in the driving rain that went on
:28:10. > :28:20.forever. As Cal Crutchlow said, he will be in great shape, it is only
:28:20. > :28:26.Lots for us to look forward to. Local glory today for Lorenzo in
:28:26. > :28:32.front of his home crowd. In two weeks it is Cal Crutchlow's turn.
