Sul circuito dedicato a Marco Simoncelli, è Lorenzo da battere: detiene il record e ha vinto nel 2011. Riuscirà Pedrosa a battere la serie vincente? Noi continuiamo a credere in una bella gara di Rossi, di Iannone galvanizzato dalle prove Ducati e Fenati che non molla.

On the track dedicated to Marco Simoncelli, Lorenzo will be the one to beat: he is the record holder and won in 2011. Will Pedrosa be able to put a stop to Lorenzo's winning streak? We are still hoping for a good race from Rossi, for a Iannone reinvigorated from Ducati testing and that Fenati keeps on trying.

Finalmente un gran bel duello: Pedrosa su Lorenzo e la MotoGP ritrova lo spettacolo che da un po’ mancava. Una sfida tutta spagnola: Lorenzo che parte favorito dalla pole e anche dai pronostici, Pedrosa che sorprende tutti prendendo in mano la gara a metà distanza e ribattendo con forza al sorpasso di Jorge nell’ultimo giro. Non si era mai visto un Pedrosa così deciso nella bagarre, e alla fine vincente per la terza volta nella stagione. Adesso la leadership di Lorenzo è ridotta a soli 13 punti.

Sul podio anche Carl Crutchlow, terzo ai danni del solito Dovizioso, questa volta classificato dietro al compagno di squadra; a seguire l’ormai puntuale Stefan Bradl, che con la solita gara impeccabile si è piazzato davanti a Bautista e a Valentino. Rossi scattava dalla seconda fila con il sesto tempo, Brno gli piace e si presta anche alla Ducati; ma una perdita d’olio lo ha rallentato molto, dopo che aveva prodotto un bell’avvìo. Pasini e Petrucci relegati agli ultimi posti dalle loro lente CRT.

Vivace anche la corsa della Moto2, vinta con classe e decisione da Marquez, sempre più padrone del mondiale. Questa volta è stata una volata a quattro, con Luthi davanti ad Espargarò e a Iannone. Questo poker di piloti si è dimostrato il più forte della categoria, ma lo spagnolo Marc Marquez ha qualcosa in più anche sul piano meccanico. Bella gara di Simone Corsi, quinto davanti ad Alex De Angelis a dieci secondi dalla vetta.

In Moto3, fuga del bravissimo tedesco Jonas Folger, che sull’asfalto ancora umido si è confermato il più forte; e bella battaglia per gli altri gradini del podio. Alla fine, come già è accaduto a Indy, l’ha spuntata il sorprendente Luis Salom davanti a Cortese e a Vinales. Ottavo e decimo i nostri Fenati e Tonucci, dopo una bella rimonta durata tutta la distanza.

Finally, the duel we've all been waiting for. Pedrosa against Lorenzo and MotoGP re-discovers what's been missing for a while. It was an all Spanish affair. Lorenzo started as favourite from pole then Pedrosa surprised everyone when he took the lead at mid race distance. The fight that followed was only decided at the last corner when Jorge forged ahead to take the win. This new decisive Pedrosa took his third win of the season and Daniel is now just 13 points behind Lorenzo in the fight for the title.

Carl Crutchlow marked his maiden podium in the series when he finished third ahead of his team mate Dovizioso who was followed by Stefan Bradl. The German rider's usual steady performance saw him cross the line ahead of Bautista and Valentino. Rossi started well from sixth place on the grid and even though he likes Brno and it suits the Ducati, an oil leak held him back. Pasini and Petrucci were relegated to finishing last due to the poor pace of their CRT machines.

The Moto2 race was full of action with Marquez coming home first to further extend his lead in the race for the title. The race was a four-way fight with Luthi finishing ahead of Espargaro and Iannone. These four riders are clearly the best in the category but the Spaniard Marc Marquez obviously also has that something extra in terms of bike performance. Simone Corsi rode well to finish fifth while Alex De Angelis was sixth, both of them ten seconds after Marquez.

In Moto3, the German rider Jonas Folger dominated in the damp weather conditions though the race behind him for the two remaining podium places was a hard-fought affair. In the end, just like at Indy, Luis Salom came home ahead of Cortese and Vinales. Fenati and Tonucci finished eighth and tenth making a good fight back that lasted the whole race.

THE DEMONS OF DUNDROD

The Ulster GP, the last of the important ‘international’ real road race of the season, takes place in Northern Ireland this week.

One of the most historic races in the world, this year it celebrates its 90th anniversary, having first been run in 1922. It has always been held on closed roads (like the Isle of Man TT), and the original layout was the 20.5 mile (32.99km) Clady Circuit, used up until 1939. The Clady was reduced to 16.5 miles (26.55km) when competition resumed, after World War II, in 1947.

In 1953 the race began to use the Dundrod circuit, very similar to the 7.4-mile (11.91km) layout it uses to this day.

The most notable thing about the Ulster GP is that it has the quickest average lap speed of any motorcycle track in the world. The current outright lap record record is held by Dainese rider Conor Cummins – an astonishing average lap speed of 133.284mph (214.5kph). That’s the average speed!

‘The circuit has some real man’s corners,’ is how Guy Martin describes it. Flat out in sixth gear, leant hard over, between the hedges. And he’s had his fair share of wins here.

Both Conor and Guy will be in action, racing in Supersport, Superstock ad Superbike classes on their TYCO by TAS Racing Suzukis.
