Rossi steals the show again

Jorge Lorenzo won the US Grand Prix at Laguna Seca on Sunday, furthering his championship lead, however someone else got the limelight. Yes, Valentino Rossi stole the show by finishing third, overtaking Andrea Dovisioso in the final laps of the race. He took to the podium on crutches with his trademark big grin, however the race had taken a lot out of him. He admitted to the BBC's Matt Roberts, that he was suffering at the end and would need the next few weeks to recuperate.

Dani Pedrosa led from the start once again but slung his Honda into the scenery on lap 11 after coming under pressure from his countryman Lorenzo. Casey Stoner continued his good form by finishing second on the Ducati. Nicky Hayden won his duel with fellow American Ben Spies to finish fifth and as the top American.

However, ride of the day really should go to the 'Doctor', I mean it's not like he's riding for the money, as he must have enough in his savings account. I think it's that need to be the best and of course, the speed. I imagine the others rider are worried already...
