specially the GP catagory.Here is a brief summary of days proceedings
& results.

The GP catagory gave us the race of the day & of the season so far
with current World Champ & "old dog" VALENTINO ROSSI taking
away a "certain" victory for Spaniard JORGE LORENZO at the last
curve to the finish. Australian ex-World Champ CASEY STONER had
a good race while suffering bike & climate problems to finish an
admirable third place.
But all eyes were on the Lorenzo & Rossi duel were Rossi stamped his
authority over his young & upcoming star rider & teammate Lorenzo.
It was a psychological hammering message from Rossi that will leave
its mark on Lorenzo who was beginning to lose "respect" for the
master. As mentioned a nail biting last lap that will live in the
memory for sometime. Here is the VIDEO of the last lap battle were
