Valencia MotoGP - Race Results

Marc Marquez is the 2017 MotoGP world champion after a fall for rival Andrea Dovizioso in today's Valencia MotoGP, which was won by Dani Pedrosa from Johann Zarco.

Dovizioso had to win the race to have any chance of snatching the title from Marquez, who saved a massive moment at turn one just before Dovizioso ran wide and fell. 

The Ducati rider spent the race staring at the rear wheel of team-mate Jorge Lorenzo, in fourth, who was repeatedly told by Ducati to let Dovizioso by. Lorenzo crashed out just before his team-mate's exit, both on lap 25 of 30.

The Ducati disaster put Marquez, who had just taken the lead from Zarco when he suffered the turn one scare, up into third place. Team-mate Pedrosa then overtook Zarco for victory at the start of the final lap.

Zarco's Tech 3 team-mate Jonas Folger was again replaced by Michael van der Mark. Aprilia's Aleix Espargaro was returning from a hand injury at Phillip Island. KTM test rider Mika Kallio and Ducati test rider Michele Pirro were making their latest wild-card appearances.

KTM's Pol Espargaro began the race from pit lane after exceeding nine engine changes for the season.
