Andy Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Catalan Grand Prix at Montmelo Sunday June 10, 2007 Weather: Sunny. Temperature: 30 degrees. Crowd figure: 112,600 race day. 201,000 weekend. Fighting third keeps Dani Pedrosa in championship hunt An intense MotoGP race fought out over 25-laps of Montmelo went to Casey Stoner (Ducati) who held off a fierce challenge from Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) who finished second with valiant local idol Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC212V) a close third. A crowd of 112,000 race fans witnessed one of the best battles in recent premier class history as the three main contenders for World Championship honours pulled clear of the field to contest a three-way dice for what may prove to be one of the more significant races of what is already a tense season. With the track at a heady 43 degrees and ambient temperature nudging 31 degrees, the lights went out and Dani made it to turn one at the head of the field. The first lap passed without any of the multiple crash drama that marred last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRILLIANT CLOSE RIDING FROM THEM BOTH only thing I would have to say is I dont think stoner was a faster rider, if he was on the yam I think (my humble opinion) rossi would have beat him, I do think stoner is riding out of his skin and did what he needed to do to win on the duke.
