Netherlands 2010
MARCO MELANDRI CRASHED IN FRIDAY MORNING PRACTICE AND DISLOCATED HIS LEFT SHOULDER. KOUSUKE AKIYOSHI, THE HONDA TEST RIDER, DEPUTISED IN THE RACE.
ONCE AGAIN, PRIVATEER HONDA RIDER RANDY DE PUNIET QUALIFIED AHEAD OF THE TWO WORKS BIKES OF DANI PEDROSA AND ANDREA DOVIZIOSO WHEN HE TOOK SECOND PLACE ON THE GRID BEHIND JORGE LORENZO AND AHEAD OF CASEY STONER IN THIRD.
COME SUNDAY, JORGE EMERGED FROM THE USUAL FRANTIC FIRST LAP IN THE LEAD BUT BEING HARRIED BY BEN SPIES, DANI AND RANDY. AS THE LAPS WERE REELED OFF, ANDREA CAME MORE INTO THE PICTURE AS DID CASEY WHILST SPIES AND DE PUNIET SLIPPED AWAY SLIGHTLY.
IT WAS ALWAYS TIGHT ALTHOUGH LORENZO LOOKED SAFE IN THE LEAD BUT HE DID NOT RUN AWAY AS HE DID AT SILVERSTONE. HE CROSSED THE FINISH LINE IN FRONT WITH DANI 2ND AND CASEY 3RD. NO REAL DRAMAS BUT A GOOD RACE WERE THERE ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE SOME ACTION ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
