Whoa! Casey Stoner did it!

The Aussie rider once again (again and again) landed another MotoGP victory and scored his eight win this season at the 2007 San Marino Grand Prix. Stoner pushed his 800 cc Ducati Desmosedici GP7 to the finish and bagged the trophy leaving other riders behind.

Stoner commented after the race:
"It took a lot of concentration to not make any mistakes because it was really hot and hard work today. This was very nice win for me. Yesterday I wasn’t so confident, but when we arrived on the grid today we were quite confident with the setting and everything worked well, we got a good start and we were able to get a good advantage. If there was a group up front my plan was to separate the group so there were less riders to battle with, I expected it to be a very difficult race. The team did a great job all weekend, they really pulled through for me."
 
"I’m still taking the championship race-by-race. It was unfortunate what happened to Valentino and to Dani (Pedrosa) today, but I was out in front doing my own thing, I had enough pressure myself"

Stoner boosted his World Championship score and now leads 85 points ahead of 7-time MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi. By the way, Rossi was forced to retire in the race due to some technical problems.
