SPANISH SPORTS | GERMAN MOTO GP 2011 | ALL THREE CATEGORIES FOR SPANISH RIDERS

SPANISH SPORTS had a magnificent day at Germany today, concretely at the Sachsenring race circuit where the German MOTO GP in all three catagories was celebrated. Spanish riders won in all the three catagories for the second time in a row, with podium places & great performance improvements all round.

Dani Pedrosa

In the GP category, Spaniard DANI PEDROSA won in grand fashion after being out due to a broken collar bone earlier in the season after a fall with Simonceli. In Italy last week he made a timid comeback & finished mid pack,  but today he proved his recovery is complete with a runaway victory. In second place, Spaniard & current World Champ JORGE LORENZO came in second & managed to pull back 4 points away from Australian Casey Stoner who came in third after experiencing tyre wear problems at the end.

Special mention to Spanish rider Alvaro Bautista who came in 7th in one of his best performances in Moto GP this season.
