Donington Review: He's Back
After a tough start to the year, reigning champion Casey Stoner returned to his winning ways at Donington. And Toby Moody has a feeling that the Australian's comeback is not over yet
Rewind to 2007 and the guy who won ten races. Stoner is back.
He had a spring in his step and a sparkle in his eye from Friday onwards after pulverising the rest by half a second a lap in the dry, and then again in the wet of Saturday. The rest were nowhere.
There are not many of the MotoGP events that I have been to where someone has been that dominant ten minutes into Friday morning's free practice session, carrying it through to qualifying and then the race, but the Donington weekend will stand out as one where there should only have been two trophies up for grabs - second and third.
