They did it! Of course we were expecting it, as it left only a short bunch of points to take to Ducati in order to be manufacturer world champion this season. With this double Ducati proves that the desmosedici GP7 was the best this year.
With Stoner and tyres without fails, Ducati just have write a new and great page of motorcycle history.
CASEY STONER :
"Being up on the podium was just unbelievable, I've never felt anything like it. I've been working very hard for a lot of years trying to win here.
