The Spanish Grand Prix was, yet another year, the scenario of the huge celebration of Spanish motorcycling, in which Dani Pedrosa was one of the leading players thanks to his second place in the MotoGP race. The Repsol rider started from the first position on the starting grid and dominated the race from the beginning until the last few turns when, after fending off the relentless pursuit of Jorge Lorenzo, he lost first position. Andrea Dovizioso, with setup problems throughout the weekend, finished sixth, climbing three positions compared to Saturday's qualifying.
