Tipping contest winners: Donington 2009
It was a freakish race – one which I am still trying to get my head around, let alone write up! Because of the unusual podium, points were scarce this week with many people striking out.

Valentino Rossi Sports Bike Rider
Valentino Rossi was born in Urbino, Italy on 16 February 1979. He is the son of the former Italian Champion motorcyclist, Graziano Rossi.
Nicknamed, The Doctor, Valentino Rossi's first 125cc Grand Prix was in Malaysia 1996 and in the same year he had his first victory in the Czech GP.
Valentino Rossi is the youngest rider to have won the 125cc, 250cc and 500cc world titles.
Rossi joined Honda in 1999 and had a very successful run with the manufacturer. After winning three consecutive world titles Rossi left Honda and joined Yamaha and immediately helped turn them around.
Rossi won his first race with Yamaha and what's more he won the MotoGP championship yet again. There is no doubting Rossi's unparalleled ability as Yamaha's bike is widely regarded as inferior to some of its competitors including Honda.
Forbes magazine reported that Valentino Rossi was the ninth highest paid sportsman (jointly with Lance Armstrong) in 2004 with earnings of $28m.
Youngest ever won the Italian 125cc champion, and third in the European championship (1995).
* First rider in the history of the sport to win back-to-back premier class races for different manufacturers.
* The first rider in the 55-year history of Moto GP to take back-to-back victories riding machines from two different manufacturers, The 2003 Repsol Honda RC211V and the 2004 Gauloises Yamaha YZR M1.
* One of the two riders to win back-to-back titles on different machinery with Repsol Honda RC211V (2003) and with Gauloises Yamaha YZR M1 (2004).
* The youngest rider ever to have won World Championships in all three classes 125GP, 250GP, and the 500GP/Moto GP.* First in all time podium standings with 104 podiums in premier class.
* First in most podiums in a season with 16 podiums (2003 and 2005).
* First in fastest laps in a season with 12 fastest laps (2003).
* Only rider to win three races after starting the race from 11th or lower on the grid (British GP 2001, German GP 2006 & Dutch TT 2007).* First rider ever to win the MotoGP class at the age of 23.
* Second rider ever to win the premier class title with a two-stroke and a four-stroke machine.
* Fourth youngest rider ever to win the 500cc title.
* Eighth rider to have won three or more successive premier-class titles.
* Only rider to win seven consecutive races at his home Grand Prix at Mugello (2002-2008).
In September 2008, Valentino Rossi won his sixth world premier-class title when he won the Japanese MotoGP, having needed just one point to secure his first MotoGP title since 2005.
In December 2008, Valentino Rossi switched to four wheels when he drove in the Wales Rally GB in a Ford Focus carrying logos supporting the BBC's Children in Need appeal. Rossi finished a creditable 12th.
In February 2009, Simon Barnes of The Times had an amusing take on how Valentino Rossi injured himself drawing the curtains, tripping and crash-landing on a glass table, and thereby needing stitches in two injuries.
On 3 May 2009, Valentino Rossi topped the MotoGP world championship table after his first win of the season at the Spanish GP.
On 27 June 2009, Valentino Rossi gained his 100th victory, when he won at the Dutch MotoGP.
On 25 October 2009, Valentino Rossi gained his seventh world MotoGP crown when he finished third in the Malaysian Grand Prix.
On 8 April 2010, Steve Parrish wrote an article entitled What Makes Rossi Great, in which he gave many reasons including the fact that Rossi's camp is fairly small, including Uccio, his minder, and Jeremy Burgess, his mechanical minder.
On 11 April 2010 in Qatar, Valentino Rossi won the first race of the 2010 MotoGP championship.
Valentino Rossi and Ducati have poached the legendary Australian crew chief Jeremy Burgess from Yamaha in a bid to win a MotoGP title with a third manufacturer.
Rossi and Burgess are the most successful pairing in the MotoGP with seven world championships together over the past 11 seasons.
The Italian, who finished third behind winner Casey Stoner in the Australian Grand Prix last weekend, has insisted Ducati hire Adelaide-based Burgess to supervise his race program in search of an eighth world crown in 2011.
Rossi has never raced in MotoGP without kingmaker Burgess whose credits include world championships with Aussie greats Wayne Gardner and Mick Doohan.
"Jerry stays with me until I retire," Rossi said when asked about the prospect of racing without his trusted wingman.
Burgess left Honda to join Rossi at Yamaha in 2004 and will now work to reinvigorate Ducati, who have not won a title since 2007 with Casey Stoner.
"I've spoken to Ducati and I think it is all going to work out fairly well," Burgess said of his impending switch to Italy's famous red team.
Valentino Rossi is based in London and is a hugely popular figure in motorcycling. In July 2005 Rossi ruled out an imminent move to Formula 1, saying:
"For next year I'm quite OK with Yamaha, but in the future I don't know what happens".
A couple of months later Valentino Rossi secured his fifth straight world title. His second place in the Malaysian Grand Prix made his position at the top of the championship standings unassailable. Previously only two other riders, Giacomo Agostini and Mick Doohan, had won the premier class of GP bike racing five times.
2006, however, did not start well for Rossi. Technical problems meant that his Yamaha was unable to finish the Shanghai MotoGP leaving Rossi well down the standings, however Steve Parrish, BBC motorbikes commentator, was amongst those still predicting that Valentino Rossi would recover.
If Rossi was to justify such optimism then Yamaha had a major job on its hands. Straight after Shanghai, Rossi's bike lost power on lap 21 at Le Mans' Bugatti circuit and his departure from the French Grand Prix meant that he dropped to eighth in the overall standings.
Back in July 2006 Nicky Hayden had a 51-point advantage over Rossi, but Rossi had an amazing run to lead the standings by eight points before the last race of the season in Valencia.
However the MotoGP title eluded Valentino Rossi in 2006 when he slid out on lap five. Although he got back on his Yamaha, Rossi could only manage 13th whilst Hayden finished third - enough to take the title.
Valentino Rossi said that complacency was partly responsible for him failing to gain a sixth consecutive MotoGP world title.
Valentino Rossi told the BBC:
"Last year we made mistakes because we felt unbeatable ... To come second once is good, it makes you come back more focused."
In March 2007, Valentino Rossi won the Spanish MotoGP, his first race since Malaysia in September 2006. It was his 85th win and made him championship leader.
When Rossi won the Italian MotoGP in June 2007, it was his sixth victory at Mugello and maintained his 100% record there.
Valentino Rossi had a poor start to 2008, however in May 2008, he won the China MotoGP. It was his first win in eight races.
Rossi followed up immediately with victory at the French MotoGP and rose to the top of the world championship standings.
On 13 July 2008 Valentino Rossi secured a record 202 consecutive appearances in grand prix races and with his second place at the German MotoGP he also regained the lead in the world championship.

The Champion and the Apprentice
The Fiat Yamaha team have been surrounded by hype this past few weeks. Not, as an outsider might expect, caused by a battle to re-sign the reigning champion: Rossi’s contract ends at the end of the 2010 championship, and he looks settled, happy, and at one with the bike he helped shape and tune into [...]

2011 MotoGP Championship Standings After Round 9, Sachsenring, Germany
MotoGP Championship standings for round , 2011
Moto GP Germany
Round 10 of the Moto GP world championship took place under the sweltering summer sun in Germany at the Sachsenring track on the 15th July. Many feared that tyres would be a deciding factor as the excessive heat might cause the tyres to break up over the 30 lap race.
On pole started the Australian chamipionship leading Ducati rider Casey Stoner out to prove that being on pole is not cursed as many fear and the only way he could do that was to win. Starting in a very good 2nd position on the grid was Dani Pedrosa on his Repsol Honda and alongside him closing out the front row was Marco Melandri on his Gresini Honda. Randy de Puniet started in 4th place on his Kawasaki, lining up next to him was the American John Hopkins on his Rizla Suzuki and aside him the ever-threatening Valentino Rossi on his Fiat Yamaha. Following these top 6 riders from qualifying was, in order, Loris Capirossi, Alex Barros, Sylvain Guintoli, Shinya Nakano closing out the top 10 and Chris Vermeulen started in 11th. Nicky Hayden started way down in 14th place, his team having already apologised to the Texas Tornado for not providing him with a decent bike for the weekend as he had struggled with various problems since Friday.
Dani Pedrosa got off to a good start and led into turn one, Casey Stoner in 2nd place and bringing up 3rd was Marco Melandri, coming out in 4th after the 1st corner was John Hopkins. On lap 2 Marco Melandri got passed Stoner who didn't seem to put up too much of a fight. Casey Stoner re-passed Melandri at the end of lap 2 and then got passed Dani Pedrosa as well, but only for a few metres as Pedrosa came straight back at him to re-take the lead of the German Moto GP. With 3 laps gone Carlos Checa went down but was able to eventually get his bike back up and into the pits. There his team changed his gear lever which had broken and he went back out onto the track with his race obviously over.
Valentino Rossi found himself stuck behind the green Kawasaki of Randy de Puniet and not being able to find a way past the Frenchman. Chris Vermeulen's race was effectively over as it was announced that he needed to serve a "driver-through" penalty for jumping the start of the race. Frenchman Sylvain Guintoli's race came to an early end as he crashed out with 26 laps to go.
Then came one of the most important parts of the race. Valentino Rossi pushed too hard into a corner trying to pass on the inside of Randy de Puniet and he and his bike went down sliding across the asphalt and into the gravel trap. Rossi struggled with his bike to try and get back into the race but simply couldn't; his handlebars were broken in the fall.
With a full 22 laps left in the race Dani Pedrosa was already starting to pull away from Casey Stoner and his Ducati with his lead being extended to slightly more than 0.8 seconds. On lap 10 Alex Barros crashed out on his Ducati, his race over immediately while he clutched his injured right hand tightly to his chest to avoid further injury to it. With 14 laps to go Nicky Hayden passes fellow American Colin Edwards while the gap from Pedrosa's Repsol Honda to Aussie Stoner's Ducati had grown to as much as over 2.5 seconds. With 12 laps left of the race not only was Stoner falling further and further back from away from the Spaniard Pedrosa, who was now lapping the German track 2 seconds faster than the Australian, but he was now comeing into the clutches of the chasing Marco Melandri and Loris Capirossi. Into corner one of the Sachsenring gp track Stoner became the center of a Capirossi and Melandri sandwich as they both tried to pass him, Melandri taking the outside line and Capirossi the inside. Melandri ran wide though and had to abort the pass while Capirossi went through and up into 2nd place.
While Dani Pedrosa rode unchallenged at front heading to his first win in over a year, the rest of the pack were fighting for the final positions and points. With 9 laps left in the race Marco Melandri managed to pass the defending Stoner who was clearly just trying to hang on with his tyres having fallen away drastically by now. He now was in damage limitation mode with both Nicky Hayden and John Hopkins closing in on the current championship leader. On lap 23 the flying Texas Tornado was able to get passed both John Hopkins and Casey Stoner, Hayden's compatriot Colin Edwards was also able to pass the other American John Hopkins. With 6 laps to go Nicky Hayden even managed to pass Marco Melandri for the final podium spot, having started way down in 14th place. With 4 laps left Casey Stoner passed Marco Melandri for 5th position.
So, the top 7 race positions:
1) Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda)
2) Loris Capirossi (Ducati)
3) Nikcy Hayden (Repsol Honda)
4) Colin Edwards
5) Casey Stoner
6) Marco Melandri
7) John Hopkins
