Motorcycle stars Jorge Lorenzo and Mick Doohan were unable to cause a shock upset overꦦ the four-wheel specialists in Sunday's Race Of Champions i🔴n Bangkok.

Both were drawn in the same opening Group, which also contained reigning double F1 champion Sebastian Vettel and local Thai ♔competito༒r Tin Sritrai.

Vettel, who won the Nations title with fellow German F1 star Michael Schumacher on Saturday, unsurprisingly romped to three wins out of three in his heat races - leaving t𝔉he others to battle over the second qualification spot for the knock-out stage.

That place went to former five-time 500cc champion Doohan, who defeated reigning double MotoGP champion꧙ Lorenzo in their heat race.

Doohan then lost out to seven time F1 champion Schumacher in the quarter-finals. Vettel was also eliminated in the quarter-finals, by fellow F1 driver and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:eventual event winner R🌟omain Grosjean.

On the Saturday, Doohan (Team Australia) and Lorenzo (All Stars) both got as far as the semi-final stage in the Na💮tions ROC contest.

When not on track Lorenzo was 💞seen out on the roads of Bangkok leading a procession of Thai Yamaha rideဣrs through the streets.

Commuters where more than a little surprised as the Spanish rider pulled up next to🦩 them at the traffic lights on a YZF-R1.

"It's been a fantastic 🐠experience to be here in Thailand again," said Lorenzoꦏ.

"The people are so friendly and warm; it is always a pleasure to be here. I have really enjoyed tꦅhe Race of Champions; the drivers are so talented and it's a real challenge to try to keep up with them.

"I would like to come back next time and maybe bring some motorbikes for them to try!🗹 I want to thank all my friends at ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚYamaha Thailand for making me feel so welcomed, I hope to come back and see them again next year."

Th🐽ailand is hoping to hold an F1 Grand Prix in the near future, although the mooted ๊Bangkok street circuit would be unsuitable for MotoGP.
