This past weekend’s MotoGP had some of the best racing since Stoner and Rossi’s duel at Laguna Seca last year. Lorenzo and Rossi tagged each other for most of the race until the 3rd lap to go, when Rossi made his move. From then on, there were a number of lead changes per lap until the last with Lorenzo leaving the door open on the last corner, allowing Rossi through to take his second win of the season. The post-race interviews showed a very miffed-looking Lorenzo – he certainly can’t have any gripes with Rossi as the racing was clean and fair. You leave the door open, you lose …
The 250cc’s saw an easy win for Bautista when Simoncelli slid of the track near the start and Barbera could not stay on the same pace. A deserved win.
The big news in 125cc is that Simoni Corsi has split from Jack&Jones and is moving to Fontana for the rest of the season.
