Misano MotoGP: Riders dedicate podium to Marco Simoncelli

Championship leader Jorge Lorenzo describes his victory at the San Marino circuit as "very lucky" after his closest title contender Dani Pedrosa crashes out in the first lap at the Marco Simoncelli Circuit in Misano.

Italy's Valentino Rossi and Alvaro Bautista who finished second and third respectively, dedicated their podiums to the late Marco Simoncelli, who died last October.

Ducati rider Rossi, who was close friends with Simoncelli, says "Marco helped me to achieve this".
