MotoGP represents the very highest level of motorcycle racing in the world with the top riders competing on 800cc prototype machines at the worlds best circuits. If high level technical racing is what you're looking for with rider lap times only a fraction of a second apart then MotoGP is for you.
2010 Race Highlights.
Dramatic racing, a Spanish double, a change in the leader-board and the most bizarre victory celebration we've ever seen made this year's Jerez GP one to remember!
Lorenzo's celebrations get more and more bizarre!

No one in GP history has looked so miserable with pole as Pedrosa! But despite pre-race handling problems, his team gave him an awesome bike. A blistering start followed by consistent laps meant Rossi (injured in an earlier motocross accident) couldn't catch him.
Lorenzo - who had produced excellent result in the lead up to the race - took Stoner, Hayden, then Rossi. He then closed in on Pedrosa with 5 laps to go, producing a nail biting close to a great race. We nearly saw a replay of the infamous Rossi-Gibernau drama here a few years ago when the two Spaniards made contact before Lorenzo ultimately took first after Pedrosa ran wide.
Hayden beat Stoner to the line. We also saw an almighty three-way scrap between Milandri, Simoncelli and De Puniet. Spies was out mid-race with front tyre issues.
This puts Lorenzo in the Championship lead with 45 points to Rossi's 41.
How will the rest of the 2010 season shape up?
There may not be a British rider in the GP this year, but 2010 promises to be an amazing season.
Could this be the last year you can see Rossi race in MotoGP or will he be on a Ducati next year? Can Ben Spies continue his successful début on the Yamaha, and what pressure does that put on Edwards? If Stoner maintains race fitness can he stop Rossi taking his 10th World Championship!? And what about Lorenzo - can he solve his consistency problems of 09 to topple his team-mate?
