Last weekend in Le Mans, Lorenzo passed the checkered flag first, scoring his second win of the season and taking over the points lead in the 2009 FIM MotoGP championship.
Fiat Yamaha, and Dainese, teammate Valentino Rossi crashed while running second to Jorge.
In the Grand Prix de France 250cc race, on a wet track, AGV Dainese rider and world champion Marco "SuperSic" Simoncelli took his second podium in two races, with his first win of the year, going some way to make up for his pointless visits to Qatar and Japan.
