2009 MotoGP of the Czech Republic (Rossi Wins)
Posted: Thu Aug 13, 2009 2:57 am
This weekend brings along round 11 of the MotoGP calendar, with many dramatic changes.
The biggest news of the weekend is undoubtedly Casey Stoner(3rd place in the championship) has withdrawn from the next three rounds to try and finally get a grip on the fatigue problems he has suffered at the last five races. Stoner's place at Ducati Marlboro will be taken by rookie Mika Kallio, who gets his big chance to impress on full factory machinery, while WSBK star Michel Fabrizio steps into Kallio's shoes at the satellite Pramac team.
This move has put Stoner out of the championship race, leaving it to become a straight fight between Fiat Yamaha team-mates Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo.
