Having climbed up to eighth, he was trailing teammate <b>Jorge Lorenzo<\/b>, who he quickly overtook on lap three and then the pair smoothly pulled ahead of Danilo Petrucci. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Rossi<\/b> gradually closed down the 0.4s margin to tack onto the back of Andrea Dovizioso and Pol Espargar\u00f3\u2018s bikes. He then put the hammer down and set a provisional fastest lap of 1\u201829.795s, leaving behind his two rivals a lap later. He kept pushing in fourth place, trying to bridge the 0.4s gap to Aleix Espargar\u00f2 and a podium finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As <b>Rossi<\/b> wrestled his way past Aleix Espargar\u00f3, drama struck as Marc Marquez crashed out of the lead on lap nine, handing the Italian second place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">The fight for the win was now between the nine-time World Champion and Cal Crutchlow, who was a little more than two seconds ahead of him. <b>The Doctor<\/b> was eager to hunt down the Briton, but the chase to the front of the field in the early stages of the race had taken its toll on his soft front tyre. <b>Rossi<\/b> decided to focus on maintaining his position after a small mistake on the brakes and cruised to a stunning <b>second place<\/b>, +4.218s from the front.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Lorenzo<\/b> had a superb start from twelfth on the grid and quickly stormed to ninth in the opening laps. The Mallorcan was fully aware that his teammate and Vi\u00f1ales would be soon joining him at the front of the pack and hurried to deal with Stefan Bradl and Jack Miller two laps into the race for seventh place. A lap later <b>Lorenzo<\/b> was forced to let <b>Rossi<\/b> and Vi\u00f1ales through and followed them past Petrucci, but was unable to keep up with their pace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">With Marquez crashing at the front, the remaining second half of the race was a lonely ride for <b>Lorenzo<\/b> in sixth place, with a significant gap to both the bike in front and the back of him. <b>Lorenzo<\/b> focused on keeping the heat in his tyres to bring home some solid points and crossed the line +20.125s from the front.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Thanks to his stunning ride today, <b>Rossi<\/b> stays in second place in the championship with 216 points. He thereby increases the advantage over his teammate <b>Lorenzo<\/b> to 24 points, whose sixth place sees his points total raised to 192.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Movistar Yamaha MotoGP\u2018s Valentino Rossi\u00a0took the Michelin Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix to another level today, with a
