Casey Stoner put an end to Valentino Rossi's seven-year domination in Mugello with a thrilling victory at the Italian MotoGP. Jorge Lorenzo finished on second place with Yamaha team-mate Rossi on third but Dani Pedrosa, who was injured in qualifying, was taken off on a stretcher after a crash.
Lorenzo had a poor start from pole position. It was remarkable that he finished the race on second after he crashed on the warm-up.
Casey Stoner's victory in his Ducati team's home race has made him to the top of MotoGP championship standings. Stoner now leads with 90 points, followed by Lorenzo 86 points, and Rossi 81 points.
