Spain’s Jorge Lorenzo won his third successive MotoGP on Sunday as he coasted home to take the Italian race on a Yamaha at Mugello, AFP reports.
The 28-year-old two-time world champion – who was winning three in a row for the fourth time in his career – beat home pole sitter Andrea Iannone of Italy on a Ducati with Italian legend Valentino Rossi third on another Yamaha claiming his 10th successive podium finish.
Rossi leads the world championship standings, but by only six points from Lorenzo.
Two-time defending world champion Marc Marquez failed to finish, crashing out on his Honda with six laps remaining.
Lorenzo, world champion in 2010 and 2012, said that it was hard to judge if he was in the best form of his life.
