MotoGP rolls into Spain this weekend for round two of the 18 round calendar in what promises to be an exciting weekends racing in front of the 250,000 fans who are expected to make their annual pilgrimage to the electric atmosphere of Jerez.....

Casey Stoner is leading the MotoGP world championship, and will be faced with a very different challenge going into the 27 lap race in Jerez.
Rossi has experienced mixed fortunes at Jerez, winning four of the MotoGP races in the last six years, but being brought down at turn one by Toni Elias last season - while Pedrosa made an amazing MotoGP debut by finishing second in 2006...

Jeremy McWilliams and Andrew Pitt will be missing from the Jerez grid after the Ilmor team announced they will be temporarily suspending their involvement in the MotoGP World Championship until key financial partners have been secured.
