Interesting GP race!!

1 Dani Pedrosa Repsol Honda Honda
2 Jorge Lorenzo Fiat Yamaha Yamaha
3 Casey Stoner Ducati Marlboro Ducati
4 Valentino Rossi Fiat Yamaha Yamaha
5 Andrea Dovizioso Repsol Honda Honda
6 Marco Simoncelli San Carlo Honda Gresini Honda
7 Nicky Hayden Ducati Marlboro Ducati
8 Ben Spies Tech 3 Yamaha Yamaha
9 Hector Barbera Paginas Amarillas Aspar Ducati
10 Marco Melandri San Carlo Honda Gresini Honda
11 Loris Capirossi Rizla Suzuki Suzuki
12 Alex De Angelis Interwetten Honda MotoGP Honda

A Crash a few laps in causing a red flag, De Puniet broken his left tib/fib, both Espargaro and Bautista hit is bike trying to avoid Randy and went down, Bautista suffered no injuries, Espargaro just looked a little sore.

Amazing riding from Pedrosa obviously, Rossi! Who would have thought he could come back to almost take a podium, if it wasnt for that aggressive passing manoeuvre by Stoner (which was pretty sweet)
And as much as I don't like him, Simoncelli rode amazingly well

Tony Elias was charging hard to hunt down Iannone and take first in moto2

...............

Stoner sure pulled one over on Rossi .. Looked like Rossi was all set up to protect the more preferred passing point - the 2nd to last corner but Stoner took him on the last corner.
Looked pretty magic even for a non Stoner follower !!

Roger Lee Hayden, the youngest of the three Hayden brothers, has been nominated to replace the injured Randy de Puniet in the LCR Honda team at the US Grand Prix.

Hayden is now set to join older brother Nicky who rides for Ducati at the Laguna Seca race this weekend.

LCR team boss Lucio Cecchinello moved quickly to secure a wild card replacement once he understood the extent of De Puniet's injuries.

Cecchinello spoke to Nicky Hayden at the Sachsenring an official announcement is yet to be made sources close to the deal say that Roger Lee will be the fourth American in the Laguna race.

He will join Ben Spies, Colin Edwards and brother Nicky. De Puniet suffered fractures to both the tibia and fibula of his lower left leg when he was struck by Mika Kallio's Ducati in a brutal four rider crash in Sunday's German GP at the Sachsenring.

Hayden's upgrade to MotoGP now comes in advance of his planned appearance in Moto2 aboard a Honda USA backed Moriwaki at the Indianapolis GP in August.

That team is to be managed by Texas legend Kevin Schwantz and it is anticipated that Schwantz will be a key advisor to Hayden in the LCR garage during the Laguna Seca weekend.

LCR's crew chief is the highly experienced Christophe Bourguignon who was the Kayaba suspension technician during Schwantz's winning days with the factory Suzuki 500cc team.

The presence of Bourguignon and Schwantz in the LCR garage will bring a huge level of grand prix experience to Hayden's wild card weekend.

Hayden raced as a wild card for Kawasaki in the US GP at Laguna Seca in 2007 and finished tenth.

The whole race was vintage MotoGP, wasn't it..................

Don't tell anyone - but I was almost willing Rossi on to the podium.

Stoner is the man! That was a Rossi move he pulled on the doc himself!...top watch!

You know, up until Rossi's crash when he actually broke a bone in his body, I didn't believe he was human...

But to recover so quickly, and get that result in a hard fought battle for the PODIUM, I still have my doubts that he is...

If Stoner had broken a Fucken Nail he would still be crying about it , let alone racing !! . It is going to be excellent to see Rossi on a Ducati

He is a sulky mofo innit.

That's odd mate...because he spent quite a bit of a season riding with a broken wrist. You should try it sometime. Not that I think you do any racing yourself.

Speaking of Ducati...be interesting to see if Rossi has the balls to ride the Ducati through of of the worlds fastest/scariest corners at 240kph on the lock stops. Like this 'pussy' does...
