Start the race from the pole potition Lorenzo did not perfect start but after a few laps he was able to take over leadership of the race and continue to push the motor to conquer the mainstay estoril.Rider ducati Casey Stoner who just returned after missing the three series could finish in second place was the result of stoner although good for a chance to become world champion has been closed.
With victory Lorenzo and Rossi finished fourth the MotoGP World Champion struggles for 2009 live season leaving only two riders and both come from the team Fiat Yamaha “Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo” with three of the remaining series and maximum points that can be obtained by each rider 75 points does not allow for Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa to exceed the point Valentino Rossi, this makes a focused concentration Rossi on Jorge Lorenzo one.
Racing was very boring because the distance between the riders in the sequence leading to the second and third riders far enough, not a lot of overtaking action adrenaline.
