Stoner wins, just.
Not a lot else really, usually an exciting track but sadly this year is going to be forgotten pretty quickly. Is it really only Lorenzo who can take on the Honda’s? Perhaps the MotoGP pit girls from Laguna Seca could gee up some excitement in the riders for next year…
Once of the favourite tracks of the season, the Italian GP, Rossi and Simoncelli’s track with lots of elevation changes and lovely corners. Sadly it didn’t really live up to the buzz that was created, largely because Rossi was struggling and Simoncelli was behaving. Lorenzo managed to take the win due to Stoners tyre pressure issues causing him to loose grip and have to drop the otherwise untouchable pace he was setting for half the race.

Rossi battled from 12th to finish 6th by the end but fans were hoping for more, especially as the bike base is supposed to be the improved version ready for next season, disappointing was probably the feeling everyone felt but as always with The Dr, there is still plenty of hope out there for him to do miracles with the team at Ducati.
Rossi fighting through the pack at Mugello
What a race! Thoroughly enjoyed watching the 28 laps at Le Mans. There was plenty of over taking even though the race was won and dominated by Stoner. The practice and qualifying was fuelled with atmosphere as Lorenzo mouthed off about Simoncelli who didn’t disappoint during the race forcing Pedrosa off the track with a bold around the outside manoeuvres which left Dani with nowhere to go other than the gravel trap after tripping over his back wheel.
Rossi managed to claw a podium beating Lorenzo which must of felt very good and who arguably should of listened to his own warnings as he pulled a very rough pass on Dovizioso at the beginning of the race.
