| PaddockTalk in ferrari. He really didn’t need that 30-second head start today. Fiat Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi used his race smarts and tenacity to win in the United States, increasing his point lead in the process. It was a 32-lap war today at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca between Ducati Corse’s Australian Casey Stoner and Italian Valentino Rossi. Both wanted the first place trophy in the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix so they fought and fought nearly the whole way through the contest, with the gap never going beyond a tenth and the lead always in play. An oversold crowd witnessed this classic and classy contest. If there was any batting about, it wasn’t evident. |
