MotoGP: Le Mans

23 May 2009 – 11:22pm

Well Le Mans had it all, rain, dry, rain dry it was a mix of everything! The race was one of the most interesting ones I’ve ever seen (however there wasn’t much over taking).

Rossi made a rare mistake and dropped his bike (losing his front end) he was the first to change bikes and it didn’t seem to pay off, Rossi ended up changing bike 4 or 5 times throughout the race.

Pedrosa did the unthinkable and passed Dovizioso on the last lap giving him 3rd place, Melandri had an amazing ride and finished in 2nd place! Which is a great result for Kawasaki. Lorenzo left the field and finished in 1st place.

Sadly Rossi didn’t make any points in this race which means Lorenzo is leading the championship with 66 points, Rossi and Stoner are joint 2nd with 65 and Pedrosa isn’t that far away with 57 points in 4th, this year things seem to be hotting up, my money is on Rossi though, after all, you’d be silly not to bet on quite possibly the greatest bike rider the world has ever seen.
