MOTOGP MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 12/AUGUST 29, 2015 SILVERSTONE CIRCUIT/NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, GREAT BRITAIN P80 would have been great but the track changed towards the end and these electronics made it very difficult." Things look bleak for Mar- quez in the title chase. Rossi has 236 points, Lorenzo 224, then Marquez just 159; Iannone closing again on 150. Dovi (120) is fifth. CN MotoGP: 1. Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) 2. Danilo Petrucci (Ducati) 3. Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) 4. Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha) 5. Dani Pedrosa (Honda) 6. Scott Redding (Honda) 7. Bradley Smith (Yamaha) 8. Andrea Iannone (Ducati) 9. Aleix Espargaro (Suzuki) 10. Alvaro Bautista (Aprilia) end; both having passed Nicky Hayden on the Aspar Honda in the closing laps. Hayden was top Open bike, but wasn't exactly satisfied. "I had a pretty good race," he said. "Twelfth wasn't necessarily great—I lost two places to factory bikes in the last laps, but in the middle of the race I had a re- ally good pace going. I thought maybe at one time I could bridge up to the next scrap but it was really tough at the end. A top 10 Rossi sits 12 points ahead of teammate Lorenzo with six races to go.
