Spaniard Lorenzo finished over five seconds ahead of second-placed Dani Pedrosa, grabbing his fifth win of the season and putting him on 185 points, 19 ahead of his countryman Pedrosa, who is now on 166 points.
Casey Stoner, who was third in the championship before the race, finished eighth after misjudging a corner and running off the track.
Valentino Rossi failed to wow his home fans, finishing in fifth place and remaining way off the race for the title.
