2010 Dani Pedrosa Wins MotoGP, Full Results – Mugello 2010Sunday, June 6th, 2010

Dani Pedrosa
A dominate performance from Dani Pedrosa saw him take the win as he lead from start to finish. He finished the race from pole, got the fastest lap, broke the circuit record and lead start-to-finish.
Once second place was sorted out between Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo the big battle was for fourth between Marco Melandri, Randy De Puniet, Casey Stoner with Ben Spies bringing up the rear.
The ding-dong battle saw Stoner in fourth, Spies in fourth, Melandri and De Puniet all in fourth place at some point over the race. By the half-way point it was mainly down to De Puniet and Melandri constantly overtaking each other with Stoner and Spies watching on.
Lorenzo didn’t initially gap Dovizioso but slowly eeked out a lead over the course of the race but it never really got over one second.
Colin Edwards had a nightmare, depsite a great qualifying and before the race saying he thought things were good he went backwards quickly and was in last for the majority of the race.
In an amazing final lap De Puniet was in fourth place, only to have Melandri and Stoner get past. Stoner, having nothing to lose, then stuffed it down the inside to get past Melandri. Melandri almost instantly hit straight back, Stoner then got past again and managed to hold it to take fourth place.
A fantastic race.
