Rossi takes seventh Mugello win

01 June 2008

Starting from pole position Valentino Rossi took his seventh win at Mugello today ahead of Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa. It was the Italian's third straight win of the season.

Rossi took the lead from Stoner on lap four and then went about building up a gap over the rest of the field with a series of impressive laps. Stoner ended up second and on the podium for only the second time at Mugello.

Pedrosa ended up third after a strong start and finished ahead of a storming ride from Alex de Angelis who took his best result of the season in fourth. 

A number of riders fell out early including Melandri, Hopkins and de Puniet. However the most dramatic was Lorenzo who saw his championship chances take a blo with his first Moto GP DNF having suffered a lowside.

Edwards ended up fifth ahead of Toseland, Capirossi, Dovizioso, Nakano and Vermeulen.
