Dani Pedrosa took his second MotoGP victory of the 2008 season - and maintained his perfect home Spanish record - by slaughtering his rivals during the Catalan Grand Prix. A classic Pedrosa victory saw the Repsol Honda rider snatch the lead at turn one, then set off like a rocket to build a two second lead over pole sitter Casey Stoner by lap two of 25. Whilst his rivals squabbled, Pedrosa simply disappeared into the distance.

Pedrosa primo, Rossi secondo. Questa, la classifica del GP di Catalunya. A parti invertite, la situazione nel mondiale, con 7 punti a dividerli. Ci sono buoni motivi per tutti, o quasi, dunque, per sorridere.
