Pics of the Women of MotoGP – It was Hot!

VALENTINO ROSSI (Winner): (About the wind): “The wind is very unconstant and very strong. You never know what’s going to happen with the bike. Every lap, I look and I say, ‘I hope for the red flag; I hope for the red flag.’ It was a good decision (to end the race). I think they make a good work for the track on the race because the rain come down very strong on the race. I don’t remember if or when I won four races in a row. We are in good shape.”

Kawasaki Racing Team announced today that Marco Melandri of Italy will team with American John Hopkins in the 2009 season in MotoGP, replacing Anthony West.
Melandri has five victories in his MotoGP class career, which started in 2003. He is riding for the Ducati Team as teammate to reigning World Champion Casey Stoner this season. Melandri won the 250cc World Championship in 2002.

NICKY HAYDEN (Second): “Man, I had nothing to lose here. I just had to go for it. The bike felt good in the wet. It’s been so long since I’ve been out front leading a race. I came on the front straightaway and saw nobody in front of me at my home GP, and I was thinking, ‘Man this is only supposed to happen in the movies.’ When the track dried out, we used so much rubber, and when it rained again and we was on the edge, it was gnarly. I just want to thank the team, my family, my fans for sticking behind me.” (About the fans): “I’d like to thank the fans. We only had to be out there for 40 minutes. They’ve been out there all day in the rain.”

JORGE LORENZO (Third): “This is the my first podium in the wet conditions in my life, so I am so happy. For me, it’s a very good result. Maybe one or two laps more I could have passed Nicky, who was so fast at the beginning. It’s another podium, so next time I hope to do better.”
