LE MANS, France -- Jorge Lorenzo made it back-to-back wins after an impressive victory in the French Moto Grand Prix ahead of championship leader Valentino Rossi on Sunday.

Lorenzo, who won at home in Spain at the beginning of the month, started third but quickly overtook Andrea Dovizioso and Marc Marquez on pole after a mistake by the two-time defending champion and opened up a big lead.
