Portugal’s Circuito do Estoril hosted round three of the 2012 MotoGP™ championship with Sunday’s race seeing defending champion Casey Stoner steer his Repsol Honda RC213V to a first ever victory at the circuit.

Second place went to Jorge Lorenzo on the Yamaha Factory Racing M1 while Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa kept his perfect podium record for 2012 intact by placing third.

Weather conditions at Estoril were variable but improved over the course of the weekend with wet periods on Friday replaced by mainly sunny skies and track temperatures in the mid to high 30°C range for Saturday's qualifying session and the race on Sunday.
