Finally, a much needed result for Valentino Rossi in France

In wet conditions today Rossi unbelievably managed to secure a podium position in France. Not only did he manage to secure a podium position, but he overtook Casey Stoner and his fearsome Honda during the final lap to finish in second place. Stoner finished 3rd. Stoner was reluctant to let the position go but Rossi was much quicker on the day. The star of the day however was Jorge Lorenzo who overtook both Honda’s in one corner during the start and sped off into the distance.

 

Although the conditions suit the Ducati, this is a much needed confidence boost for the Italian team. However Lorenzo and Stoner will still take some beating this season.

At least everyone knows the Ducati can perform when it wants to so lets all shut up and give credit where it is due, well done Jorge Lorenzo.
