2009 MotoGP - Jerez Picture 52 of 72

Jorge Lorenzo spent most of the race in a lonely fourth position but was not about to let a podium finish slip away in his home Grand Prix. By riding slightly outside of his comfort zone he managed to shave Casey Stoner's lead down to half a second with four laps to go, but lost the front end and went down. A damaged throttle meant the end of his race.
