Valentino Rossi has increased his lead in the 2009 MotoGP championship by winning Sunday's San Marino Grand Prix. Rossi dominated the race finishing ahead of team-mate Jorgen Lorenzo and Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa. 
A 2.4s win at the Gran Premio Cinzano di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini over his team-mate Jorge Lorenzo was the perfect response to his Indy DNF and Rossi now leads the Spaniard by 30 points in the standings, with four rounds to go.
Lorenzo did his very best to stay with his illustrious team-mate over the course of the 28 lap contest, having overtaken Dani Pedrosa after a short battle, but The Doctor was unstoppable in the Italian sunshine.
Having held the lead in the early stages Repsol Honda's Pedrosa could not match the pace of the powerful Fiat Yamaha pair, eventually crossing the line ten seconds behind Lorenzo to complete the podium.
