Rossi wins ahead of Lorenzo at Sachsenring

Valentino Rossi has won his fourth race of the season at the German Sachsenring on Sunday afternoon. The Italian managed to keep team-mate Jorge Lorenzo only just behind him. Dani Pedrosa finished third as the Spaniard managed to overtake Stoner in the final laps of the race.

At the start of the German Gran Prix Valentino Rossi kept the lead in the race but after a couple of laps he was unable to keep Casey Stoner behind him. The Australian worked himself up the field and managed to keep Rossi and team-mate Lorenzo behind him for most of the race.

With 13 laps to go Valentino Rossi managed to overtake Casey Stoner though and within that same lap his Yamaha team-mate Jorge Lorenzo also got past the Ducati rider. Four drivers were fighting for victory in Germany as Rossi, Lorenzo, Stoner and Pedrosa were within a second of each other.

Meanwhile Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden were fighting for P8. Lap after lap the duo were extremely tight but with eight laps to go Nicky Hayden managed to overtake the Repsol Honda rider.

With five laps to go Casey Stoner made a small mistake and saw Dani Pedrosa pass by taking third position. Jorge Lorenzo was able to overtake Valentino Rossi with just four laps to go but two laps later it was Rossi again who took the lead. He kept the Spaniard behind him claiming his 101st win in his career.
