Philip Island, motoGP

Over the last weekend Dad, Robbie, Jono and I were at the MotoGP on Philip Island. We saw Casy Stoner win the big race by 6 seconds. he had a lead of 8 seconds at one point but was told to slow down by his pit crew just incase he broke some thing on the bike. It was pretty amazing as the day before he came off over the handle bars around the corner we happend to be sitting at.
this photo is Casy Stoner coming round the corner we were sitting at, the same corner he came off the day before. Stoners team mate Loris Capirossi came second while seven time world champ Valentino Rossi came third. Nicky Haden, last years wold champion was coming second right behind Stoner but he droped out with technical problems. The winner pf the 250cc race was Jorge Lorenzo who will be Rossi's team mate next year. he thrashed the other 250cc riders by 19.6 seconds it was fantastic and to selebrate he planted his "Lorenzo Land" flag in the sand trap near us.
All in all it was a great copple of days

The motoGP

For a few weeks now dad and jono have been planing to go down to Philip Island for the motoGP. For those who don't know the motoGP are the 800cc motorbike races and this year Australian Casey Stoner has won the world championship. Any way they were going to ride down and thus Robbie and I would be unable to attend, but today we found out that Jono would be unable to ride down so we had to take the car letting Robbie and I come too. Hip-hip Hooray.
So hopefuly we will be able to witness an other victory for Stoner and possibly a good crash.
