Sunday’s race in Misano, was a repeat performance for both Stoner and Rossi. Just like the race before, Stoner opened up an early lead, with Rossi chasing him. Then, just like before, Stoner low-sided out of the race, and Rossi coasted into another victory. Rossi now has a comfortable 75 point lead in the world championship. It would take something pretty extreme over the course of the 5 remaining races this season, for Rossi not to win the championship. It seems fitting that Rossi was able to give such a great performance on his home track. Lorenzo was back in the mix this week, at times riding in second position. Ultimately Pedrosa took second, with Elias finishing third.
Another crash for Stoner
