Spanish rider takes win at Honda’s home race.
Dani Pedrosa gave his Repsol Honda team its first ever win at the Grand Prix of Japan and the Japanese manufacturer their first home GP race win since 2004 with a perfect performance at the Twin Ring Motegi circuit in round 15 of this year’s MotoGP championship. Pedrosa crossed the line ahead of fellow countryman Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha Factory Racing) and his teammate and championship leader Casey Stoner.
The first lap saw the three factory Honda’s get a great start with Lorenzo and teammate Ben Spies in close pursuit but in the second corner disaster struck for Ducati Marlboro’s Valentino Rossi who crashed out after finding Lorenzo in his way when trying to turn into the corner giving the Italian nowhere to go then he found Spies on the outside who Rossi hit on his way into the gravel. Spies was able to remount and re-join the race while Rossi was forced to retire. - http://www.motorsport.com
"I'm really happy because at this track I've had a mix of good and bad results and some bad injuries, so come back one year later and win in MotoGP is fantastic." - Dani Pedrosa
