MADRID, Oct 25 — Petronas Yamaha’s Franco Morbidelli produced a masterclass to keep the Suzuki duo of Alex Rins and Joan Mir at bay and claim his second win of the season with victory at the Teruel Grand Prix today.

Rins finished second behind the Italian, while championship leader Mir, who has yet to win a race this season, started 12^th on the grid and finished third, extending his lead to 14 points over Morbidelli’s team mate Fabio Quartararo who finished eighth.

Polesitter Takaaki Nakagami, who became the first Japanese rider in 16 years to clinch a premier-class pole, endured heartbreak when he crashed on the opening lap while the LCR Honda rider was in the lead. — Reuters
