REUTERS - Spain's Jorge Lorenzo clinched his maiden MotoGP world title with a third-place finish at the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday.
 
The Yamaha rider only needed a top-10 finish to lift the title with three more races remaining and after starting on pole position the 23-year-old took few risks, easing off with two laps remaining and pulling a wheelie over the finish line.
 
Yamaha team mate and outgoing world champion Valentino Rossi put in a vintage performance to win the race ahead of Italian compatriot Andrea Dozivioso on a Honda.
