Casey Stoner won the first
Turkish GP leading the race from the first lap till the end.
So, for the fifth time this season the CARRERA SUNGLASESS –
LCR Team Australian rider gained the victory and the second
place in the world championship. After the unlucky race in
Phillip Island, Casey came to Turkey to demonstrate his
great potential once again and made a fantastic race beating
also the world champion Dani Pedrosa. A good performance for
Roberto Locatelli who made a great recover fro the 20th
position because of one hit with Corsi in the first lap. Now
Loca is 14th in the world standing with 55 points. Casey Stoner FIRST - “What can I say? It has been a very good day! We have had a few problems this week end and I have not been feeling the best but as always come the race the team gave me the best bike and I was feeling very confident for the race. I am really very happy to beat the new world champion. I really regret the mistake I made in Phillip Island this win proves that we are very competitive team and we always want to win. I am very happy the way the year has gone and we are going into Valencia to finish off the year with a win”. Roberto Locatelli 8th - “In the first corner Corsi went wide and then he hit me. I went off the track and when I came back on I was last. I started to pull back the other riders very quickly because I knew that my pace was good. Because I was passing so many riders I used up my front tyre but I am content with my 8th position because I know I could have been higher without the incident at the start. I like this track so I was more confident than usual also we had a very good setting for the bike this week”. |
