STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Jorge Lorenzo closes to within seven points of MotoGP leader Dani Pedrosa
- Spaniards dominate at Montmelo, with Marc Marquez finishing third
- World champion Lorenzo becomes first rider to win three races this season
- His Yamaha teammate Valentino Rossi finishes fourth in hot conditions
World champion Jorge Lorenzo trimmed the lead of this season's MotoGP pacesetter Dani Pedrosa with his second successive race victory on Sunday, overcoming scorching hot conditions in Spain.
Pedrosa had set a lap record in Saturday's qualifying for the Catalunya Grand Prix, but was upstaged from the start by his fellow Spaniard and had to settle for second place as he spent most of the race holding off his rookie Honda teammate Marc Marquez.
Lorenzo followed up his victory in Italy two weeks ago as the Yamaha rider moved to within seven points of Pedrosa after his third triumph in the sixth of 18 races on the 2013 calendar.
The 26-year-old from Mallorca also won at Montmelo last year, and in 2010 when he went on to clinch his first world title in motorcycling's elite class.
