And Pedrosa It Is.

Dani Pedrosa has just won the Laguna Seca MotoGP, leading from the holeshot. Rossi, running second, closed the fairly large gap in the last laps but left his last-lap charge too late. Running 2 seconds behind Dani, he made up ground coming out of the Corkscrew, gained a little more in turn 10 and braked way late into turn 11, almost catching Pedrosa ... but not quite. Pedrosa crossed a few bike lengths ahead of Vale, with Lorenzo finishing third, 1 and a half seconds back. Stoner, another ten seconds adrift finished fourth, with Hayden crossing 9 seconds later for his best finish this season ... but then again Capirossi and Dovizioso, who would've finished ahead, both DNF'd. Elias was 6th, Edwards 7th ... I was expecting more from him on this track. Toseland and Gibernau also DNF'd. Good job by Pedrosa, but since he's so far back in the points, the benefit goes to Rossi ... the three championship leaders, Rossi, Lorenzo and Stoner, finished in order, so the small point spread got a little wider ... it's now 151, 142 and 135 respectively.
