Valentino Rossi, the defending champion, moved clear in the World MotoGP standings with a comfortable Spanish GP victory in Jerez as he headed off local favourite Dani Pedrosa
Rossi had been concerned about the set-up of his bike after qualifying, in which he ran fourth fastest, but hectic overnight work paid dividends as Rossi claimed his first victory of the season.
"I did not have the setting I wanted for the race, and we had to work hard," said Rossi, who stretched his championship lead over Casey Stoner, who finished third, to 11 points.
Bradley Smith, the 18-year-old Oxfordshire rider, enjoyed his first victory in the World 125cc Championship, romping home 13 seconds clear of Sergio Gadea.
Leon Camier claimed his first pole start in the ViSK British Superbike Championship ahead of this afternoon's second round at Oulton Park. Camier will start in front of Sylvain Guintoli, who he trails by seven points.
