008 seconds ahead of Pedrosa and Dovizioso.
Valentino Rossi said: “I am so happy with this win today because all of the toughest championships of my career, including with Yamaha in 2004, have been won with nine victories.
Of course that doesn’t mean I don’t want to win again next week, but for now I like this number! Today was incredibly hard because it was so hot.
Once I got behind Dani I tried to pass many times but he was very fast and very consistent and I had a good battle to get by him.
“Lap-by-lap I understood better where it was possible and eventually I could make my move and go away from him.
Everything worked very well today in such conditions, my M1 and my Bridgestone tyres and I want to thank everyone for making me so fast all weekend.
