MotoGP Update

Fiat Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi upstaged his younger team-mate, and now new MotoGP World Champion, Jorge Lorenzo by winning the Shell Advance Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang.

After a poor start saw him drop back to eleventh place on the opening lap, the Italian worked his way up the field in a truly vintage Rossi ride.

Lorenzo led the race from pole but was hounded by the Repsol Honda of Andrea Dovizioso lap after lap until the Honda rider eventually found a way past.

Rossi continued to charge, laying down consistent fastest laps while the two leaders battled before the seven-time world champion passed both Lorenzo and then Dovizioso for the lead and the win.

Ducati Team’s Casey Stoner put himself out of contention for a possible third straight win after he dropped the bike on Lap One. 

After round fifteen, the rider standings are as follows:

1. Jorge Lorenzo 313

2. Dani Pedrosa 228

3. Valentino Rossi 181

MotoGP Update

Ducati Team’s Casey Stoner secured back-to-back wins after victory at the Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi ahead of Repsol Honda’s Andrea Dovizioso and Fiat Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi.

The Australian took the lead from pole-sitter Dovizioso on the opening lap and put in consistently fast times, winning by nearly four seconds.

While the Honda rider’s second place finish was a good result, his first podium since round five at Silverstone, the real show was put on by the two Fiat Yamahas of Rossi and Championship leader Jorge Lorenzo.

The two battled intensely for third place, from the first lap when Lorenzo passed Rossi, til they touched bikes with only two laps remaining. The fight left the Italian rejuvenated and Lorenzo unhappy with his team-mate’s tactics.

After round fourteen, the rider standings are as follows:

1. Jorge Lorenzo 297

2. Dani Pedrosa 228

3. Casey Stoner 180
