Road Racing: Weekend Results

Lots of road racing this weekend with the MotoGP in Brno and an AMA weekend at the Virginia International Raceway.

AMA:
Foremost Ducati rider Larry Pegram had a decent weekend following the last race double-header win in Topeka. He finished fourth behind Bostrom, Hayden and Hayes.

Results:
1. Josh Hayes (Yamaha)
2. Tommy Hayden (Suzuki)
3. Ben Bostrom (Yamaha)
4. Larry Pegram (Ducati)
5. Aaron Yates (Suzuki)
6. Taylor Knapp (Suzuki)
7. Blake Young (Suzuki)
8. Neil Hodgson (Honda)
9. Mat Mladin (Suzuki)
10. Jake Holden (Honda)

MotoGP:
With Casey Stoner out for three races it was up to Nicky Hayden and Stoner replacement Mika Kallio to make up for his absence and hopefully gain some manufacturer's points for Ducati. While the race was really a battle between Yamaha riders Rossi and Lorenzo, Hayden did have an impressive finish after fighting with Edwards for sixth. This week at Brno, the manufacturers are getting rare testing session time which is a bit unfortunate for the Malboro Ducati team as Stoner is on sick leave.
