It's Elias?!!!

Toni Elias won the Portuguese GP to mark his 1st ever MotoGP podium finish in style. He edged out Valentino Rossi on the finish line by just 0.002s. It was a spirited race shown by Elias from the start though Rossi who was leading most of the time. Seeing he sliding his rear tyre almost at every corner, I didn't really confident Elias' tyres will last until the final lap. Hey, I was wrong. Salute to Elias! For Rossi, he had the consolation of taking the lead in the overall standing for the 1st time this season with only the season-ending Valencia GP on October 29 to come. He lead Hayden by 8 points. Pity Hayden who crashed with his teammate, Pedrosa. I would say it was a silly mistake by Pedrosa, too competetive at the wrong time with the wrong opponent.. Overall, it was a very exciting race with the underdogs shone. The final result itself showed, no Hayden, Pedrosa, Melandri & Capirossi in the top 5.
