Stoner Leads All-Bridgestone Podium at Wet Sachsenring

14 July 2008

Ducati’s Casey Stoner scored his third consecutive victory of the season at a wet Sachsenring yesterday leading an all-Bridgestone podium with Fiat Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi in second place, and Rizla Suzuki’s Chris Vermeulen in third. The thirty lap race was held in difficult wet conditions, but Bridgestone’s wet weather tyres proved competitive for the full race distance. Eight Bridgestone-shod riders finished in the top ten today at a circuit where success has previously eluded the tyre manufacturer. Stoner’s win represents the first time a rider on Bridgestone tyres has won at Sachsenring. Rossi’s second place takes him back to the top of the championship with a 16-point margin over Dani Pedrosa, who did not score points in today’s race. Stoner’s 25 points for the win bring him to within four points of second place in the standings heading into the United States GP at Laguna Seca next weekend, where Bridgestone enjoyed a podium clean sweep with Stoner in dominant form.
