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.
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.
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.
