EspargarГѓВі holds an advantage in the CRT overall standings after his latest performance. After a battle between the two and Michele Pirro, it was EspargarГѓВі who took the honour at his home race, with Pirro separating the two teammates. POWER ELECTRONICS Aspar rider Randy De Puniet made an error with his tyre Choice for the race, but teammate Aleix EspargarГѓВі would have been tough to beat in the competition to be the best CRT rider at the Catalan GP. Lorenzo placed first, Pedrosa second at a home race for both riders. Dani Pedrosa had taken the lead earlier in the race, but was hunted down by the former World Champion and finally overtaken. The race was all about tyre choice, with Lorenzo taking victory on the softer compound and benefitting from uncertainty as the expected rainfall did not occur. Jorge Lorenzo moved ahead of Casey Stoner on number of wins for the season so far, racking up his third of the campaign. Randy de Puniet places fifteenth, despite mistake with tyre selection The MotoGP race at the Catalan GP will have much to say in the development of the season. In the whole, with the data we gathered today, we made a small step forward.вЂќВќ More, from a press release issued by Power Electronics Aspar Team: ALEIX ESPARGARГѓвЂњ ACHIEVES OBJECTIVE AT HOME GRAND PRIX POWER ELECTRONICS Aspar rider finishes as top CRT rider. Our pace wasnвЂ™t too far from the pace the CRTs in front of us had, considering the time we lost at the beginning of the race. We still can improve a lot, not only with the setting of the ART machine, but also with the managing for the race and the electronics. After taking some risks with the front, I preferred to do my own race, with my rhythm, with the aim to gather as much data as possible for the upcoming events. The group of the fastest CRTs had moved away, and I tried to get closer to them. I didnвЂ™t have a good start, I lost a lot of time on the first lap and I struggled to overtake straight away a couple of riders that were in front of me.

Mattia Pasini #54 вЂ“ 17th вЂњThis was a strange race. Pasini and his crew, therefore, put together more kilometres out on track, which will help them to get ready and improve for the next races. Once he moved up a couple of positions, the Italian proved he had a consistent pace, ending the race in seventeenth position. Kicking off from the sixth row of the starting grid, Mattia Pasini had to deal with a tough beginning of the race, which separated him from the group of the fastest CRT machines.
