Turkish MotoGP: Stoner on top in Istanbul

Ducati rider Casey Stoner in action in Istanbul. We think this Aussie

is going to be Rossi's no.1 challenger this year

We wanted Rossi to win, but it was not to be. Ducati rider Casey

Stoner stormed to an impressive victory at the Turkish MotoGP in

Istanbul today, while Rossi finished a distant tenth, partly due to

tyre problems with his Yamaha. Gresini Honda rider, Toni Elias came in

second, while another of our favourite riders, Ducati rider Loris

Capirossi took third spot. Says Capirossi, "I feel like the father of

these two guys, because I'm really old! I tried to catch Casey, but

he's really fast so I didn't want to risk too much..."
