MotoGP 2008: PRAMAC Grand Prix of China on schedule
Apr 30
MotoGP heads to Shanghai for round four of the World Championship, the Pramac Grand Prix of China, on May 4th 2008.
Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa are currently the top two riders tied at the top of the MotoGP standing. With 61 points to their name, the battle should be a tight and exciting one. Both riders have been in China before, although this will be Lorenz’s maiden voyage on the MotoGP bike in China. Pedrosa on the other hand had his first triumph at the 2006 Chinese visit. Rival Dani Pedrosa, also has a winning at the Shanghai circuit, with his first triumph on a four-stroke coming at the 2006 Chinese visit.
However, all is not easy for the two top contenders. The five-time MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi is right behind and is within easy reach of the top position. He is definitely going to put up a fight, now with his new Bridgetstone tires!. Although we all know that just having new tires isn’t going to win him the race, so he will have to find it in his genius to pull ahead and leave everyone behind, which we know he is quite capable of. The Italian is currently on his longest, winless streak since his first MotoGP victory in 2000. So if Rossi is to make a move he needs to do it in China!
