Pole sitter Dani Pedrosa cruised to victory in Sunday’s Indianapolis MotoGP, finishing nearly 11 seconds ahead of fellow Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo. Pedrosa, on a Honda, completed the 28-lap course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 49min 39.631sec, 10.823sec ahead of Yahama’s Lorenzo. The 26-year-old claimed his 17th career Moto GP win while Lorenzo stayed on top of the world championship standings. Yamaha’s Italian rider Andrea Dovizioso finished third, 17.310sec behind Pedrosa. “Early in the race I tried to open it up,” said Pedrosa, who took the lead from American Ben Spies with 25 laps to go. “It was a good weekend, I think. The bike was working well. “We were sliding all the way around the racetrack, but with a good feeling. I had good pace today. At the beginning, the race was tough because the pace was very high. So I had to keep concentration.” From:Gulf
