Followed closely by Marc Marquez, the nine-time World Champion was quick to find a strong pace, but as soon as the first lap was finished white flags were waving, signaling rain and allowing riders to come into the pits to change bikes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rossi<\/strong>\u00a0didn\u2019t let the changeable conditions slow him down and set a fastest lap of 1\u201932.437 on lap five. As things closed up at the front, fans were thoroughly entertained with a heated battle between\u00a0<strong>Rossi<\/strong>, Marquez and Iannone. Sparks were flying from\u00a0<strong>Rossi<\/strong>\u2019s bike on lap 12 as Dani Pedrosa started to get into the mix. Six laps later rain threatened again, allowing\u00a0<strong>the Doctor<\/strong>\u00a0to reel in Marquez.\u00a0<strong>Rossi<\/strong>\u00a0kept his head down, but as the track dried again he came just short and finished in a deserved second place, 3.516 seconds behind the front man.<\/p>\n<p>Teammate\u00a0<strong>Lorenzo<\/strong>\u00a0had an unlucky end to the 2014 season. Starting from fourth on the grid, he soon got caught up in a fight with rival Pedrosa. The\u00a0<strong>Movistar Yamaha<\/strong>\u00a0rider looked to be the stronger of the two until drops of rain began to fall and he took a few laps to get a feel for the situation, falling back to seventh.<\/p>\n<p>As the track started to dry\u00a0<strong>Lorenzo<\/strong>\u00a0regained confidence and rose to fifth, having retaken Cal Crutchlow and Andrea Dovizioso by lap nine. Four laps later the Spaniard arrived at the back of Iannone\u2019s bike and won a hard battle with him before continuing his hunt for Pedrosa in third, until rain once again disrupted the race.\u00a0<strong>Lorenzo<\/strong>\u00a0struggled to get the bike stopped in the uncertain conditions and dropped down the order. He decided to come into the pits on lap 20 to switch to his wet bike and rejoined the race in 14th\u00a0place. Unfortunately the gamble didn\u2019t pay off. He dropped back to 21st\u00a0and was forced to retire with five laps remaining as the conditions remained dry.<\/p>\n<p>With second place\u00a0<strong>Rossi<\/strong>\u00a0gains 20 championship points, securing\u00a0<strong>second in the championship<\/strong>, with 295 points total.\u00a0<strong>Lorenzo<\/strong>\u00a0finished\u00a0<strong>third in the championship<\/strong>\u00a0as his points total remained 263.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow\u00a0<strong>Rossi<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Lorenzo<\/strong>\u00a0will be back aboard the M1 on the Valencia circuit for the first test sessions in preparation for next year\u2019s season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Valentino Rossi:<\/strong><em> \u201cI\u2019m happy, because I finished this very positive season for me and my team with a great race and a good result here in Valencia. For me it\u2019s a great achievement to take the pole position and to finish in second place, especially because this race was very difficult and the conditions were very dangerous. I tried to stay concentrated and not to make a mistake. It\u2019s a bit of a shame that I started to suffer a little bit on the right side of the tyre, because I wasn\u2019t so far from Marc, but it still has been a good season. We got second in the championship, a lot of podiums and two victories. Now, we have to work to be even better next year. My bad luck is called Marc Marquez, because without him I can win the championship and a lot of races. He did a fantastic job and won a lot of races. It\u2019s a great pleasure to fight with him, but we are not so far and we never give up and try to come closer. Especially on Tuesday, but also tomorrow we will start working for next season. I am very close to 300 points, but Marquez won a lot more races than me, so me and my team need to improve the Yamaha to try and stay closer during the whole season. The test is important because we have a lot of new stuff to test for next year, so it will be interesting.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Movistar Yamaha MotoGP\u2019s\u00a0Valentino Rossi\u00a0secured a superb second place under difficult conditions during the 2014 season finale, the Gran Premio de la Comunitat Valenciana at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit.
