The greatest last lap battle in motorsport history?

Who remembers this 2009 classic fight to the finish?

Lewis Hamilton taking the Formula 1 title with a last corner pass in 2008 may have been exciting, but this 2009 battle between Yamaha team-mates Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo takes things to the next level.

Although the Catalunya race was only the sixth round of the season, it was already evident that the two Yamaha riders would be the likely championship protagonists.

In this final lap, the lead changes hands four times and we at GPFans challenge you to find a more thrilling final lap.
