Repsol Honda Team motoGP’s Spanish rider Dani Pedrosa takes a curve during the qualifying round of the Spanish Grand Prix at the Jerez racetrack in Jerez de la Frontera on May 4, 2013. Pedrosa gained his first win of the season on Sunday winning the grand prix.

Spanish rider Dani Pedrosa gained his first win of the season on Sunday winning the Spanish MotoGP.

The 27-year-old Honda rider came home clear of his team-mate Marc Marquez while defending world champion Jorge Lorenzo was third on a Yamaha.

Marquez, who went top of the standings on 61 points three ahead of Pedrosa and four of Lorenzo, once again showed his class at just 20-years-old as he passed Lorenzo on the final bend for second spot.

However, it left Lorenzo furious as they came together on the bend and he refused to accept Marquez’s apology immediately afterwards.
