Four Championship Points for the Alice Team
20 October 2008
It isn’t the best race of the season, this is for sure, but Alice Team riders, Toni Elias and Sylvain Guintoli, have done what was possible today in one of the most difficult race of the season. Started from the last position, Elias also received a penalty for jump-start and had to go for ride through which made him lose many seconds. This hasn’t taken his morale down, but instead the Spanish rider has maintained a good rhythm that made him conquer some positions concluding in fifteenth position. Also Sylvain didn’t start in the best way, concluding the firsts three laps in last position. But lap after lap the French rider made it to find a good feeling overtaking Aoki, Melandri and De Angelis. Alice Team obtains four points for the Teams’ World Championship remaining in the battle for sixth position. Next World Championship round in Valencia for the final race of the season.

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.
