Ibericul Dani Pedrosa a obtinut prima victorie din actualul sezon de MotoGP chiar in Marele Premiu al Spaniei, disputat la Jerez de la Frontera. Pilotul Repsol Honda a devenit al treilea castigator diferit din sezonul 2013.

Dupa un duel de senzatie cu Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Marquez a incheiat pe locul al doilea, iar Honda a reusit "dubla". Marquez si Lorenzo chiar s-au ciocnit, pe ultimii metri ai cursei, iar primul i-a luat fata pilotului care a pornit din pole position pentru a doua oara in acest nou sezon al Campionatului Mondial de motociclism viteza.

Gratie acestei depasiri, castigatorul etapei precedente a terminat la doua secunde in spatele colegului Pedrosa si ramane lider in clasamentul general al pilotilor, dupa trei curse.

Valentino Rossi a incheiat doar al 4-lea, pe un circuit pe care a castigat de 6 ori in 14 Grand Prix-uri.

Etapa viitoare va avea loc peste doua saptamani, pe circuitul de la Le Mans, Franta.
