VALENTINO Rossi has managed to keep hold of his MotoGP championship lead, but only just. Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo is now only six points behind the Italian after winning at Mugello. 

Andrea Dovizioso has moved down to third with his team-mate Andrea Iannone only two points adrift. 

After crashing out of Mugello and therefore scoring zero points, Marc Marquez is in fifth place with 69 points. Brit Bradley Smith is only 12 points behind reigning world champion Marquez. 

Cal Crutchlow sits in seventh after a DNF at Mugello, 10 points behind fellow Brit Smith, while Smith’s team-mate Pol Espargaro is eighth.
