CATALUNYA GP: THIRD PLACE FOR STONER

MOTOGP

MotoGP arrives in Catalunya for the seventh round of the World Championship, and lands on the Montmelò circuit, not far from Barcelona.

Regina rider Casey Stoner replicate his last week performance at Assen, conquering again the third step of the podium.

The Australian started well, following Lorenzo and Dovizioso. The three, with a pace much higher than the rest of the group, earned seconds every lap, breaking away gradually to the opponents. Unfortunately Stoner made an off-track on lap five, which ruled him out of the chase for victory. He lost some positions but made an excellent comeback, which leads him to reach Pedrosa, second, and bead until the end of the race.

Eighth place for Hayden, who can not find the perfect feeling with the track and the bike.

Stoner and Hayden are using bikes equipped with Regina chain 520 ORAW2

CASEY STONER (Ducati MotoGP Team)  3°
"I made a decent start and managed to pull away from the others along with "Dovi" and Lorenzo. Unfortunately after a few laps I made a mistake, without which I think I could have stayed with them for the whole race – I just ran wide under braking and lost a lot of time. The bike felt more balanced in the second half of the race and I was able to make up a bit of ground but once I caught Dani I just couldn’t find a way past him. He rode really well - clean and faultless, without leaving me a single gap. To be honest I am a little disappointed but another podium is good for us and we have to be positive. We are working well, my feeling with the bike is good after the last three races and now we have to start making the most of our potential.”
 

Next MotoGP race will be held on July 18^th at Sachsenring, in Germany

Race full of suspense in Moto2: at the first corner, a contact in the middle of the group starts a series of falls that put many drivers out the game. Iannone is forced to "ride through". An incredible accident occurs to Morales: at the final straight, he touches the rear tire of Noyes and ends on the ground hit by his bike.
