Valentino Rossi beats rival Marc Marquez to claim MotoGP victory in the Grand Prix of Catalunya on Sunday. 
Rossi dropped to eighth on the opening lap but scythed his way to the front of the pack within six laps, before emerging on top in a scrap with M?rquez at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. 
Marquez now leads the championship after this seventh leg of the season on 125 points from Lorenzo on 115 points and Rossi in third on 103 points. Rossi is now third on 103 points after seven rounds. 
The Yamaha rider started fifth and dropped to seventh before taking the lead on lap seven. 
Rossi traded first place with Honda's Marquez in the closing stages but made a move with two laps to go for his second win of the season. 
The stricken Spaniard was only eight years old when Rossi notched up his first world championship win in 2000. 
Sixteen years later the 37-year-old Italian veteran posted his 114th career victory and 88th in the top division after employing all his skill, nerve and experience to shake off a determined Marquez.
