Andrea Dovizioso scored his first MotoGP win for over seven years by defeating Valentino Rossi in a straight racing at Malaysia Grand Prix on Sunday.
Starting from the pole position, the Italian fell back early but took over the lead with six laps to go and quickly opened a gap on his compatriot Rossi. Dovizioso finished 3.115secs ahead of Rossi for his maiden win of the season and first since 2009.
Some 8.8s behind Rossi, finished Lorenzo on the second factory Yamaha, with a similar margin splitting the Spaniard from leading independent rider Hector Barbera in fourth.
Avintia Ducati riders Loris Baz and Barbera steadily climbed to seventh and eighth places, and their battle became one for fourth as riders ahead dropped out. Maverick Vinales brought home the Suzuki sixth, ahead of the Aprilia of Alvaro Bautista and the top Honda of Jack Miller in eighth.
Completing the top 10 were Pol Espargaro (Tech 3 Yamaha) and Danilo Petrucci (Pramac Ducati), followed by Marquez, who remounted his Repsol Honda to clinch five points.
