– Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo won the Catalunya Grand Prix in Barcelona on Sunday to reclaim the lead in the MotoGP world championship, Reuters reports. Quartararo won for the first time in six races. “My tire was nearly destroyed,” he said. “I didn’t have a good start but the first braking (going into turn one) was really good and I had a clean overtake on the straight. That’s the positive of having three Yamahas in the front row.” Quartararo now leads the championship with 108 points—eight ahead of Suzuki’s Joan Mir and 18 ahead of Yamaha’s Maverick Vinales, who had a poor start and finished ninth. Yamaha’s Andrea Dovizioso, who led Quartararo by a point before the race, crashed out in the first turn on the opening lap after he started 17th on the grid. The Italian has now dropped to fourth in the standings, 24 points back. The next race is the French Grand Prix on Oct. 11.
