It was Lorenzo's first victory in a dry race in the 2011 season. These brilliant results achieved by the defending champion, after he suffered bad luck at Silverstone and the nudge to Marco Simoncelli in Assen, as well as show the world that Yamaha began to rise again.
Indeed, early in the race Lorenzo's performance is less convincing. He simply left the Repsol Honda rider Casey Stoner, and had overtaken teammate Stoner, Andrea Dovizioso. But entering the 17th lap, Lorenzo Dovizioso not just leave, but rather bulldoze Stoner who led from the start of the race, and eventually became pemennag.
"It's so special, because in the last three or four races, is a very difficult time for us," said Lorenzo, the former double world champion 250cc class.
"On the track I give everything I have. Now I have no energy.
"It's hard to overtake the Andrea and Casey with hard braking, so I tried to pass them on the downhill and in the end all went well.
"I want to thank Yamaha for all their effort to me, by giving the bike the best."
Eighth victory in the series makes Lorenzo cut the gap to Stoner, who is still firmly on top of the standings. They now only 19 points adrift.
