(Reuters) - Spain's Ducati-bound triple world champion Jorge Lorenzo signed off from Yamaha with a farewell victory, in his 250th grand prix, in front of his home crowd in MotoGP's Valencia season-ender on Sunday. The Spaniard, who had already handed over his title to compatriot Marc Marquez, held off a late charge from Honda's newly-crowned triple champion to win by 1.185 seconds at the Ricardo Tormo track in eastern Spain. Italian Andrea Iannone, who is making way for Lorenzo at Ducati and joining Suzuki in 2017, finished third to deny Yamaha's Valentino Rossi a final podium appearance of the season.
