Starting second on the grid, the aussie managed to make the hole shot to take the lead at the first apex. Aftyer that he could set his pace to the race, and keep the lead until the finish line.
Casey Stoner :

Marco Melandri ryed to catch Stoner but it was impossible so he stayed second toward the end.
