Catalunya MotoGP
Rossi wins yet again! 4th out of 5 races!!!
Sete second
Melandri 3rd
Early battle between the two telefonica Movistar bikes that saw Sete hit the
back of Melandri's bike (these 2 are team mates). Sete ran wide as a result
and Rossi grabbing second. Rossi then eventually took over the lead from Melandri.
Sete responds and takes the head of the field. But with 3 laps to go, the yamaha
has more grip on the road and rossi snatches the lead. Sete was unable to respond
and was not close enough to challenge for the win.
The yamaha is so good under braking such that rossi can leave it very very late!!!
This is definitely another Yamaha year.
Formula1 Canadian GP
Renault
Renault are running 1-2. Fisichella is ahead.
Fernando Alonso was given a go signal to overtake Fisichella.
Fisichella's car broke down with hydraulic problems.
Alonso now running 1st hit the wall, broke his right rear tyre and suspension and retired from the race as well.
McLaren
After the Renault's demise, the McLarens are now running 1-2 with Juan Pablo Montoya leading.
The safety car was deployed after Jenson Button/BAR Honda accident. But Montoya is already past the
pit lane entrance and Kimi was able to dive into the pits for his final gas stop.
Montoya pitted on the next lap. He came back on track while the safety car and the queue of cars are passing
through the start finish sector. He merged into the middle of the queue not noticing the red light on the
pit lane exit. He was black flagged as a result (disqualified). Kimi went on to win the race.
Jenson Button - BAR Honda
After the Renault exit, he is poised to get third. But he made a mistake on the final chicane and hit the
same wall Alonso has hit. He wrecked the car, was in a dangerous place on the race track, and called for
a safety car situation. This has costed Juan Pable a race win.

After the Retirements and disqualifications up front, Trulli is now set for another podium finish.
But his front brake exploded. Luckily it happened at an area where there is a run-off area.

After all the retirements, Schumacher's Ferrari is now second to Kimi. Ruben's, after starting from the
pitlane has worked his way up to third. A double podium for Ferrari.

Felipe Massa got 4th place. Jacques Villenueve ploughed the back of Sato's bar on the first lap
and has to come in for a front wing change. Mistakes during the race as well and he ended up just outside
