MOTOGP FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 5 / MAY 15-17, 2017 BUGATTI CIRCUIT / LE MANS, FRANCE P108 Up front, the Yamahas were in forma- tion, Vinales second and Rossi behind, with Marquez close but not quite chal- lenging. The first change came when Vinales reversed the chicane move on Zarco on lap seven, but the front four stayed close—Marquez dropping away a little, then closing again. The next trio was led by Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda), inches ahead of Andrea Dovizioso's Ducati, with Pedrosa behind. The Ducati rider was hard to pass, but Pedrosa managed it on lap 10, and then Crutchlow as well next time around—an unintentionally aggressive move that Jorge dead factory somewhat a distant place The KTMs were once again in the points, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.
