Lorenzo wins in Portugal
Jorge Lorenzo claimed the chequered flag at the Portuguese Grand Prix as he sealed his first Moto GP win. The Spaniard came home ahead of fellow countryman Dani Pedrosa while team-mate Valentino Rossi finished third.
"I don't believe it, I can't say anything more because today is happiest day of my life," Lorenzo told the BBC.
Britain's James Toseland finished in seventh position after failing to adapt to the conditions during the race.
"I had rain spots on the visor and it was just a lack of experience, I didn't know how much you could push in those conditions," he said.
"I wasn't aggressive enough on the first few laps and I lost some distance on the leaders, but to qualify on the second row and be fifth on the championship now, I believe, it's encouraging.
"It was a bit frustrating that I wasn't further forward but I look forward to going to tracks that I do know and take advantage of the new package we've got."
