MotoGP: 2009 Valencia 125GP Results

Well, the 2009 champion, Julian Simon, took victory in front of his home crowd today at Valencia. His teammate - and up and coming racer - Bradley Smith pulled in just two-tenths of a second behind Simon, with Pol Espargaro rounding out the podium. We have certainly seen where the sport may go next year with the late charges of Smith and Espargaro - you won't want to miss 2010!

Casey Stoner is in much better shape than he was when he took the break due to his illness. He pulled off an incredible charge to the front and achieved pole position for tomorrow's race. Rossi, Pedrosa, Lorenzo and Edwards round out the top five in that order. Whether Stoner can keep the pace in tomorrow's race, though, we shall see...

Out of the 250c.c. Grand Prix Championship, Hector Barbera was fastest on the Phillip Island track. Simoncelli - who is still hoping to get his second consecutive championship - was way back in 10th position. I hope we see some faster times in the qualifying practice!

For Rossi fans, today's MotoGP practice gives some hope! He had a bad outing at Estoril due to setup issues, but he and his team have apparently addressed those sufficiently as he topped this session. Lorenzo, Pedrosa and then Stoner fill the three spots under Rossi...

Spanish 125 GP Contingent Heading to Phillip Island

The Spaniards have been taking the 125c.c. World Championship by storm. If you don't believe me, you are not watching the same races I have been, nor are you paying attention!
