Lorenzo bounces back with French win

After a chaotic and turbulent round 4 of the MotoGP at France's historic Le Mans circuit, Jorge Lorenzo produced a stunning ride to rebound from his frustrating race at Jerez to take his second win of the season. Taking the lead from the wet start, Lorenzo left the rest of the field to forge a commanding lead in the difficult conditions. Having led with a healthy lead over his closest challengers, Lorenzo was able to capitalise on the gap to be the last to switch over to slick tyres. Producing a superb ride on his slicks, the Spaniard took his second win in style with over a 17-second lead over Marco Melandri. Team Report
