Dani Pedrosa Pole Position at US MotoGP

Dani Pedrosa took the pole position on Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP this Sunday evening at Indianapolis by half a second and finished a second faster than Valentino Rossi's existing qualifying record. Pedrosa was the only rider to finish below the 1'40s barrier, lapping at 1'39.730 while Jorge Lorenzo secured second place and Rossi third with his very last lap after pitting to top up his fork oil with just a handful of minutes left.


Valentino Rossi's lap was just good enough to bump Gresini Honda's Alex De Angelis onto the second row of the grid but there was only 11 one-thousandths of a second between the Italian pairing. Monster Yamaha's Colin Edwards ended up fifth despite a crash with ten minutes to go while countryman Nicky Hayden was just behind the Texan by a little over a tenth.

Andrea Dovizioso Took First Victory at Donington

Honda Repsol team rider Andrea Dovizioso claimed his first victory in his MotoGP career in a remarkable British GP at Donington circuit. Dovizioso took the race lead after championship leader Valentino Rossi slid off from first spot, before remounting to finish in fifth. However Rossi still extended his points lead because his nearest title rival, Jorge Lorenzo failed to finish and Casey Stoner came home in 14th place following a bad tyre gamble.

Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider Colin Edwards came second with Honda LCR's Randy de Puniet third, and Edwards' teammate James Toseland in a career-best equalling sixth place.

Dani Pedrosa Won 2009 Red Bull US MotoGP

Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa made a fine start on US MotoGP at Laguna Seca and held on to his lead and domination to win the Sunday's race. For most of the race Pedrosa maintained a couple of seconds ahead of last year US MotoGP winner Valentino Rossi who got close enough on the final turn to make a lunge. But what Rossi did wasn�t enough and the Spaniard took Honda�s first MotoGP victory since the 2008 Catalunya MotoGP.




Jorge Lorenzo showed a strong performance despite his shoulder injury and made a bold move on teammate Rossi for second spot. He almost lose control of his Yamaha M1 bike, but he managed to keep his bike on track. Lorenzo ran wide though and Rossi regained his second spot behind Dani Pedrosa.

Ducati rider Casey Stoner finished on fourth place in a clearly exhausting race for him and teammate Nicky Hayden recorded his best result on a Ducati by finishing on fifth.
