Nobody could touch Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa as he rode to victory at this week's MotoGP event in Sachsenring, Germany.

Nobody could touch Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa as he rode to victory at this week's MotoGP event in Sachsenring, Germany.
Repsol Honda rider Casey Stoner scored the pole and led the early part of the race, with Pedrosa close behind. It looked like a one-two Honda finish.
Stoner and Pedrosa simply checked out, leaving the rest of the field behind.
On lap 19 (out of 20), Pedrosa made his move, and passed Stoner. On the end of that lap, Stoner lost the front end, leaving Pedrosa unchallenged in his victory.
With Stoner out, Pedrosa's margin of victory was nearly 15 seconds—that's Honda horsepower!
LCR Honda rider Stefan Bradl was inspired by his home crowd to a career-best fifth-place finish in his rookie season.
Alvaro Bautista (San Carlo Honda Gresini RC213V) finished a creditable seventh after starting from the back row. The Spaniard made his way through the CRT riders by the sixth lap and set out for the prototypes.
