Stoner claims Sepang
And Rossi claims the 2009 world title…
On the other hand i truly believe that Stoner absences from the previous races made the job very easy to the Doctor, in the last 2 races Stoner was performing like never before…it was as if he was on a bike from a different class, the gap between him and rest of the racers was huge..and no one could get close to him.
Becuase of the rain, the race today did not have much action… hope the last race of the season be much more intresting.
A classic fight
Filed under: Ducati, MotoGP, Motor Sports, News, Racing, Stoner
Today’s race at Phillip Island was a classic, Stoner was in top physical condition giving the spectates a show to remember with his high speed slides, Rossi was trying every trick in the book to bypass him but the Australian was too fast and maintained the lead all the way to the checker flag.
Lorenzo crashed out at turn one of the first lap after touching Nicky Hayden bike, he was lucky to escape the crash with only a small injury to his pinky.
The legend to be

With today’s win Jorge Lorenzo reduces the gap to 18 points between him and Rossi, although Rossi had some technical issues with the bike, Lorenzo gave us a great race today, Stoner was back in shap and finished second which is very good for someone that has been sick and away from the track for a while.
Lorenzo’s character and racing style is developing race by race, he still did not develop the charisma of the Doctor, but i feel he will get there and even out run him.

Race 1: Haga’s start was best and he managed to lead the race up to couple of laps before the chequered flag when he made a slight mistake.. Spies cut loose and took the win. Makoto Tamada got into an incident with John Hopkins shortly after the start, they were both taken to the hospital.
Race 2: Haga did another mistake but this one costed him the race, and might cost him the season, he slowed down in the middle of a corner trying to go back to the race line but Rea was coming in fast… both made contact.. Haga fell and Rea claimed the podium.

The race at Indianapolis was a bit different, the competition was intense from the start but later on Pedrosa crashed, Rossi followed and the absence of Stoner left Lorenzo leading the race all the way to the checker flag.
The track was a bit tricky and had a lot of long, sharp and high speed curves..quit a few riders crashed..some managed to continue others -like Rossi- decided to quit.

A 100 win
Filed under: Events, Fast, MotoGP, Motor Sports, News, Racing, Talent, Yamaha
Today Valantino Rossi made his 100 win in the MotoGP, with this win Rossi became the second rider in the MotoGP history to score a 100 win after Giacomo Agostini who is considered the greatest MotoGP rider of all time -122 win-.
After the win, Rossi went to greet his fans and they surprised him with a huge banner with photos of Rossi’s 100 wins.
The first couple of laps of the race gave the impression that this is going to be an entertaining race but after Pedrosa fell and Stoner went back to third place, Rossi was only racing himself and beating his own lap times lap after the other.
English Man in Italy
The second race of the World Super Bike championship -Misano round-was a fierce fight between the young -22 years- English rider Jonathan Rea and Fabrizio, after a couple of spectacular laps and just when we thought Fabrizio and Haga will eat Rea alive and claim the title of this race.. Rea manages to slip away to the podium.
Ducati is still leading the WSBK, the points as follows:
Haga 292 points
Spies 244 points
Fabrizio 237 points
Race one was a bore and as expected Spies came 1st, Byrne 2nd , and Fabrizio 3rd.
