Spain’s Dani Pedrosa took advantage of a Casey Stoner crash on the warm-up lap to win the Valencia Grand Prix, his second victory of the season securing third place in the MotoGP world championship. Ducati rider Stoner was due to start on pole and was bidding for a third straight win in the final race of the year but was unable to make the start after he flipped high into the air off the bike on the warm-up lap. Pedrosa led the charge from the front row and never relinquished the lead. The victory at his home race lifted the Honda pilot above the Australian to third in the standings behind compatriot Jorge Lorenzo and champion Valentino Rossi.

Nell’ultimo GP della stagione trionfo dello spagnolo della Honda davanti alle Yamaha di Rossi e Lorenzo. Incredibile il ritiro dell’australiano della Ducati che nel giro di allineamento commette un errore ed è disarcionato. Ottimo Spies, settimo.
