Italian Grand Prix winner Jorge Lorenzo said it was not easy to defeat MotoGP title rival Dani Pedrosa at Mugello, despite ultimately coming home five seconds clear. Lorenzo led every lap of the race on his Yamaha, but admitted he had been surprised that he could not escape from his rivals in the first half of the race, when Pedrosa's Honda, Tech 3 Yamaha's Andrea Dovizioso, LCR Honda's Stefan Bradl and Ducati's Nicky Hayden kept him under pressure. "I knew it was going to be a very difficult race because Dani also had a very good pace," said Lorenzo
