Andrea Dovizioso Took First Victory at Donington

Honda Repsol team rider Andrea Dovizioso claimed his first victory in his MotoGP career in a remarkable British GP at Donington circuit. Dovizioso took the race lead after championship leader Valentino Rossi slid off from first spot, before remounting to finish in fifth. However Rossi still extended his points lead because his nearest title rival, Jorge Lorenzo failed to finish and Casey Stoner came home in 14th place following a bad tyre gamble.

Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider Colin Edwards came second with Honda LCR's Randy de Puniet third, and Edwards' teammate James Toseland in a career-best equalling sixth place.

Andrea Dovizioso Fastest in French MotoGP Practice

Repsol Honda rider Andrea Dovizioso ended a rain disrupted first practice session for the French MotoGP race with the fastest time in Le Mans circuit.

Whilst the result was clearly influenced by the rain, which arrived just after the halfway stage of the newly extended one-hour session, Andrea Dovizioso was a frontrunner throughout the dry part of the session - then knocked Casey Stoner from the top just before the weather turned for the worse.

It marked the second time the Italian has led a grand prix track session since he joined the MotoGP class last season - the first being the wet Saturday morning practice session at Donington Park 2008.
