Madrid--Spain's Jorge Lorenzo won a fourth consecutive MotoGP on Sunday after holding off Yamaha teammate Valentino Rossi at the Catalunya Grand Prix.
Rossi pushed hard and with five laps to go around the Montmelo circuit outside Barcelona, the gap was just 1.288sec.
But Lorenzo held the Italian off for victory on his home track to move within one point of Rossi in the overall standings.
There was no such joy for Spain's Marc Marquez, the two-time reigning champion crashing off the track while in hot pursuit of Lorenzo early on, the third time he's fallen in seven races this season.
