MotoGP Review: A few feathers ruffled
On a weekend where Casey Stoner crashed again and Valentino Rossi equalled Giacomo Agostini's record of premier class wins in his home grand prix, both were almost overshadowed by Dani Pedrosa's mid-season swap from Michelin to Bridgestone, which hasn't gone down too well
What an excellent day for the sport to see Valentino Rossi equal the great, and I mean that, Giacomo Agostini's record of 68 wins in the 500cc/MotoGP class. Rossi has now won the past three races and completely turned the championship around to a 75-point advantage at Misano last weekend, three clear races worth.
Rossi equalled Angel Nieto's record at Le Mans in May, leading us to ponder the fairy tale of Rossi to level with Ago in Italy rather than somewhere far away without atmosphere; like Malaysia.
