Pedrosa writes another chapter of history in Misano
Misano, 11 September 2016



3-time world champion pulls clear of the yellow smoke to become winner number 8 in 2016

History can be an easy thing to remake when the cards fall right. 2016 in MotoGP™ has now rewritten it, but it's been anything but easy for those who have written their own chapters in the season that has now seen the most different winners in a single year since the dawn of the world championship in 1949. Chapter 8 was written at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli and it was Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa holding the pen.

Pedrosa took his 29th premier class win and 103rd podium at the Italian track as he fought back up from a tough qualifying position on the third row, and in doing so kept his fantastic record of a race win in every year of his MotoGP™ career in tact. After a tough season and then a corner turned at the post-race test in Brno, the 'Baby Samurai' returned to the top step in spectacular style, taking first teammate Marquez, then the Movistar Yamahas of Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi as he charged for the flag and crossed the line with a healthy margin - aggressive, unstoppable and uncatchable in his race rhythm. And then there were eight.

Maverick rules Silverstone for a stunning maiden win
Silverstone, 4 September 2016



The year of history-making continues as Viñales takes an incredible first victory at the British GP.

Maverick Viñales (Team Suzuki Ecstar) has taken a historic first win for Suzuki since their return to the championship, as the 2013 Moto3™ world champion was in a class of his own at the Octo British Grand Prix to become the seventh winner so far in 2016. Viñales, who got his first podium in Le Mans in the French GP, got a front row start and simply pulled away once clear at the front - putting in an incredible performance to cross the line over 3 seconds clear. After an almighty battle behind, it was home hero and pole sitter Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda) and Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) who completed the podium.

Rosberg beats Hamilton to easy Monza win
Monza          [4 September 2016]



Nico Rosberg claimed a comfortable second victory in as many weeks after leading Lewis Hamilton across the line at the Italian Grand Prix.

The race looked set to be a straight fight between the Mercedes teammates and title rivals, but a slow getaway by Hamilton at the start meant Rosberg led into Turn 1. Hamilton finished the first lap in sixth position and saw his hopes of a comeback slip away in the opening ten laps after getting stuck behind Valtteri Bottas.
