I know this has become a habit this year (thank god) but ... Rossi wins again! He started from 2nd in Malaysia with Pedrosa in pole position and Lorenzo 3rd.
Everybody expected a shotgun start from Pedrosa, as he usually does when e starts first, but Rossi managed to keep the rhythm after passing an excelent Dovitiozo!
He stayed behind the Spaniard for a couple of laps then overtook him when the poor dude least expected it. From that point onwards there was no race at the front, Rossi pulling away swiftly.
The show was behind where we had a good battle between Dovitiozo and Hayden. It was the first opportunity for the italian to get his first potium in motogp and for Hayden to beat his future replacement in Team Honda HRC. In the end, after a number of overtakings on both sides, Divitiozo managed to keep the 3rd place. Stoner finished 6th (i think) and was dead tired and dehidrated at the end of the race.
Note: the temperature was 42C in the shade and in 250 class Passini did not manage to finish the race due to exhaustion (he was not able to get off the byke once he got to the boxes) and Simoncelli, although happy, wasn't abble to talk in the official interviews at the end of the race.
Vaaai Vale! Next race in Valencia next week.
