It took place on the weekend of 12–14 June 2009 at the Circuit de Catalunya.

This race is known as one of the most thrilling in MotoGP history, because Valentino Rossi held off the challenge of teammate Jorge Lorenzo by overtaking him in the last corner, on the last lap, to win the race.

[2] Julian Simon, a Spanish racer in the 125cc race, celebrated victory one lap early, as he was confused with the sign that his team had shown him.

Andrea Iannone stormed to the lead and won, whilst Simon could only finish fourth.

Below are the standings for the top five riders and constructors after round six has concluded.
