Alcaniz (Spain), Oct 26 Faultless Franco Morbidelli of (Petronas Yamaha SRT) didn't put a foot wrong to claim his second victory of the year at the Gran Premio Liqui Moly de Teruel.

It was a classy and faultless ride from the Italian on Sunday as he led Team Suzuki Ecstar's Alex Rins over the line by two seconds, with Joan Mir (Team Suzuki Ecstar) picking up another P3 at MotorLand to extend his Championship lead in yet another dramatic premier class race.
