Andrea Dovizioso claimed his first top-level race victory during an incident-packed British MotoGP which saw motorcyling's top riders struggle in the wet at Donington on Sunday. Andrea Dovioso claimed his first race victory in only his second season of competing in MotoGP. The 23-year-old Italian came home 1.360 seconds ahead of American veteran Colin Edwards after championship leader Valentino Rossi and his Fiat Yamaha teammate Jorge Lorenzo both slipped off the slippery circuit. Pole-sitter Rossi came off his bike when leading with 11 of the 30 laps to go, but was able to keep it running and resume the race. The Italian dropped back to 11th place but stormed through the field to finish fifth and extend his lead to 25 points.
