What a great race today!

Jorge Lorenzo wins.

I havn’t see such a good race at the front for a while, that was awesome. Valentino had a superb start as did a bunch of other riders, partcicularly Dani Pedrosa who eventually finished 3rd after giving Rossi a run for his money towards the end. Jorge was mighty and stayed with the pack until his time came to make a move on Rossi, he managed to pull a gap for a while Rossi and Pedrosa had a battle, Rossi started closing back in on Lorenzo but to little and tto late.

Casey Stoner went backwards at the start struggling with what seemed to be his tyres, he eventually fought back and passed De Angelis towards the end to take 4th place. Britains James Toseland had a good race and finished ahead of his team mate Colin Edwards in 9th.
