held at the Estoril circuit, today, Sunday (01/05/2011). Pedorsa finish first with a record time of 45 minutes 51.483 seconds ahead of Lorenzo 3.051 seconds slower.
Meanwhile, the third podium also filled Repsol Honda rider, Casey Stoner, followed by teammate Andrea Dovisiozo. While Valentino Rossi who started from ninth grid had to settle for fifth place finish.
In fact swallowed hard luck Marco Simonceli (Gresini Honda) who was forced to stop the race due to an accident that occurred shortly after the start. For Simonceli this tragedy becomes anticlimactic considering the record time during qualifying yesterday is surprising.
Pedrosa himself on race day it looks excellent. Although Lorenzo had left behind, but thanks to consistent performance finally got past Pedrosa Lorenzo in Curve 1.
With this victory Pedrosa managed to sit in second place klasmen, 4-point difference from the World Champion Lorenzo.
