Michelin Man Pedrosa Third at Mugello

03 June 2008

World Championship contender Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC212V-Michelin) was Michelin’s top performer at Mugello today, the Spanish star disputing the lead with rivals Valentino Rossi (Fiat Yamaha Team YZR-M1) and Casey Stoner (Ducati Marlboro Team Desmosedici) before taking a strong third place, just 2.6 seconds behind Stoner. Colin Edwards (Yamaha Tech 3 YZR-M1-Michelin) and rookie James Toseland (Yamaha Tech 3 YZR-M1-Michelin) made it three Michelin men in the top six, the team-mates enjoying a thrilling battle as they fought their way through from eighth and ninth in the early stages. Today’s race was run in warm sunshine following two days of rain-hit practice which gave riders and their technicians very little dry track time to fully prepare for the 23 laps.
