Kagayama scores despite broken ankle

Suzuki Alstare Brux team manager Francis Batta has described Yukio Kagayama as a 'special guy' after he defied a broken ankle to post two points finishes at Miller Motorsports Park.

Kagayama kicked off his weekend in style with the quickest time in free practice, but a crash later in the day left him with requiring a hospital visit, where doctors told him he could expect a six month recovery period.

Nonetheless, despite suggestions by the team not to race this weekend, Kagayama soldiered on to qualify 13th and manage a pair of 12th place results, despite the considerable discomfort.

“I am very sore and very tired after these races today. I had pain-killing injections in my right foot and that allowed me to race. Once I was on the bike, the pain was not so great, but what did hurt was my shoulder, back and thigh. Now I want a good, long rest!

“In race one, I began to get a better feeling with the bike after about seven or eight laps and the tyre was working OK as well. It was difficult changing direction, because of my right foot, and going through the chicanes was also a bit of a problem, but I wanted to finish the race and so kept going.

“I had some more injections before the start of the second race, but I didn't make such a good start and was 17th at the end of the first lap. My bike also had some chattering from the rear end and I couldn't push hard. It was very tough and physical today, but I'm happy I managed to finish both races today.”

With the Suzuki outfit already reeling from Max Neukirchner's lengthy absence, following his broken leg, team manager Batta was full of praise for Kagayama's perseverance.

“Yukio is a special guy and I am very impressed with his courage and determination this weekend. Nobody put him under any pressure to get on the bike at all, in fact we tried to persuade him not to race! None of us thought he would actually race today, but he proved us all wrong and did a fantastic job in very difficult circumstances.”

Dovizioso 'fought like hell' with Rossi

Andrea Dovizioso 'fought like hell' to try and secure his first podium of the season in front of his home fans at Mugello on Sunday.

Unfortunately for Dovizioso, the man between himself and a debut Repsol Honda rostrum was countryman Valentino Rossi - winner of the past seven Italian Grands Prix - but Dovizioso pushed the reigning six-time MotoGP world champion hard, and was only 0.053sec behind at the chequered flag.

Dovizioso led a total of seven of the 23 laps, in both wet and dry conditions, and finished just 2.129sec behind race winner Casey Stoner (Ducati).

“The sensation of leading the race in front of my home crowd was incredible and I think overall we had a good race today - I'm satisfied. I fought like hell to take third and we were so close - only 53 thousandths from the podium!” said Dovi.

“I think our race strategy was good, we changed the bike at the right moment and I pushed as hard as possible to maintain my position. With three laps to go I tried to keep in contact with the others and when Rossi overtook me, I managed to stay with him. Then I tried to slipstream him out of the last corner but I couldn't make it.

“Anyway, all in all it was an exciting race and a positive result. We are getting closer, but still not close enough to win. We need to keep on working because we are still not as competitive as the fastest riders, especially in dry conditions.”

“It was good to see a Repsol Honda leading the race for several laps and this is where we want to be consistently,” said team manager Kazuhiko Yamano. “When it dried out Andrea didn't quite have the pace to fight for the win, but he put in a great effort and a podium would have been a good reward.”

Dovizioso lost out on third place at the previous Le Mans round, by 0.562sec to team-mate Pedrosa.

Dovizioso is now just one point behind fourth placed Pedrosa in the championship standings, after the Spaniard crashed out on Sunday.

Pedrosa fitness doubts linger after thigh fracture revelation

After his crash in Sunday’s race at the Gran Premio d’Italia Alice Dani Pedrosa was examined by specialists in his native Barcelona on Monday, with Doctor Xavier Mir confirming that the Repsol Honda rider has an incomplete fracture of the right greater trochanter of the femur.

Pedrosa started the Mugello race injured after a big rear wheel slide and subsequent shake from his bike in Saturday morning’s practice session, which caused severe stretching in his right hip.

The scans at the USP Institut Universitari Dexeus on Monday showed that the initial diagnosis at the circuit on Saturday had been correct and Pedrosa had pulled the gluteus medius muscle, which caused a small crack in the greater trochanter (thigh) bone where the muscle attaches. A statement also confirmed that he had not suffered any further injuries during his Sunday crash, even though he was stretchered away from the incident as a precautionary measure.

The 23 year-old will now have to rest up before the all important Gran Premi Cinzano de Catalunya, his home GP, with his physical condition to be assessed next week to decide if he will be fit to compete. Pedrosa is also still recovering from knee and arm injuries sustained in a winter testing crash but those injuries were not exacerbated in Italy.

The rider himself said, “It’s a relief that the tests on Monday didn’t show up anything new because I think I have enough to contend with already. The injury from Saturday is still quite painful obviously but with luck it will improve over the next week.”

“The timing of this a real shame because I was feeling as though I was returning to something close to race fitness and could ride the bike as I wanted. Still, this is where we are so we’ll just get on with it and try to make a quick recovery. I really hope I can be fit for the next race because it’s a very important one for me and the team.”

Stoner describes route to victory in Italy

Casey Stoner had a complicated race at the Gran Premio d’Italia Alice but he produced a ruthlessly professional display to take the upper hand in the title battle.

Giving Ducati their first ever Mugello win on Sunday Casey Stoner survived a last lap scare when he made a mistake at the Correntaio corner - in front of the fans of the Italian factory - and also overcame a clutch issue in the latter stages to win by one second and retake control in the championship.

Having made a decent start in the wet Stoner slipped back slightly before changing to slick tyres, then re-emerging from pit lane to surge towards the front of the race.

Ending Valentino Rossi’s seven-year Mugello winning streak and preventing a second successive 2009 Jorge Lorenzo win with his solid display, despite some technical issues which he explained afterwards, Stoner struck a key psychological blow in the Tuscan hills.

Describing the race, he stated, “At the beginning we started off really well and I had a good feeling with the bike, it was working well, but as soon as the dry patches started appearing our tyres started destroying themselves and there was no grip. I just tried to maintain the gap to the other riders until I could get onto the slicks and then I knew I wouldn’t have such a disadvantage.”

“Once I got onto the slicks I found a good feeling immediately and I was able to get to the front quite quickly, but then I started having a problem with the clutch,” Stoner continued, “The RPM was going up to the limiter and there was no forward momentum. I just tried adjusting it and I managed to get it hooked up again, but it was still difficult on the corners.”

The young Australian went on to add, “It was a really hard race and I just wanted to finish it. I just tried to stay smooth and keep the same lap times even if I couldn’t ride the way I wanted to. On the last lap I pushed in areas where I hadn’t done so all through the race, and I made a mistake so I was lucky to hold onto the victory. But I think the team did a great job and we are very grateful for this win.”
