  Cracking MotoGP Season-Opener In Spain
  Pedrosa Pushes Capirex All The Way
  by toby hirst
  Sunday, March 26, 2006
  
  Ducati Marlboro's Loris Capirossi has won the season opening Spanish Grand Prix in style after 27 action packed laps at the circuit of Jerez.
  
  The Desmosedici looked on rails for much of the race, but Capirossi had to contend with a storming performance from class rookie, Dani Pedrosa -- racing in front of his home crowd.
  
  It was a thriller from the start with Valentino Rossi being hit from behind by the Fortuna Honda of Toni Elias at the first corner from the lights, sending the Italian maestro scuttling down the tarmac.
  
  The Doctor re-mounted the factory YZR-M1 after punching the air with anger, and re-joined the race over 50 seconds down on the rest of the field, with Capirossi, Gibernau, Hayden and Melandri away at the front.
  
  Sete Gibernau appeared to come into contact with Hayden on Lap three, and the Spaniard was forced into an early retirement whilst Dani Pedrosa was storming through the field.
  
  Capirossi led from Hayden until Pedrosa put a strong move on the American which saw the crowd enter the realms of delirium as the works V5 of young Dani set off in pursuit of race leader, Capirossi.
  
  With Rossi trying to play catch-up, and with Hayden and Melandri locked in a battle for the final podium position, it was left to Capirossi and Pedrosa to fight it out for the win.
  
  The HRC superstar managed to pull up on the rear of Capirossi after 17 laps after setting a blistering set of lap times as he hunted down the factory Ducati pilot. Pedrosa attempted a pass for the lead at the end of lap 18, but the experience of Capirossi allowed the diminutive Italian to fend off the double 250cc World Champion.
  
  Melandri was passed for fourth by team-mate Elias, who appeared none the worse for his first corner collision with Rossi, and Elias then caught Hayden leaving the pair stuck together like glue, wheel to wheel for third.
  
  As the race progressed towards it's climax, Capirossi finally broke Pedrosa's charge, and the veteran pulled away inside the final three laps with Pedrosa looking tired on his debut with the 990cc machine.
  
  Capirossi eventually took the flag over three seconds ahead of Honda's new wonderkid, but Pedrosa has certainly sent a clear message out to his opposition that he isn't just in the series to learn this year -- he wants to win.
  
  An ecstatic Ducati team celebrated in pit-lane, Capirossi was overcome with emotion, and to tidy things up, Hayden just managed to hang onto the final rostrum position, 0.139 seconds the gap between the pair.
  
  As for the rest of team America, Kenny Roberts Junior finished in eighth, just over half a minute back of the race winner on the KR211V, with Suzuki's John Hopkins right behind him in ninth.
  
  Colin Edwards struggled to 11th on the factory Yamaha, with Rossi finally limping home in 14th more than a minute in arrears of Capirossi.
  
  The Spanish crowd were fired up by Pedrosa's performance and started the party trackside by singing to the factory Honda gunslinger. The beer will be flowing tonight in Jerez town, as it will back in Bologna as the Ducatisti celebrate Capirossi's victory.
  
  Capirossi was fast all weekend, took the pole, the fastest race lap (1:41.248) and the race win for the scarlet bullets, and for Bridgestone.
  
  We have two weeks to draw our breath before the series returns to action at the Losail circuit in Qatar on April 8th.
  
  It has certainly set the cat amongst the pigeons for Rossi to come away empty handed, and the challenge is on for Camel Yamaha to bounce back in the desert heat. The Doctor needs a check-up and it sure makes for an exciting season for Rossi to be chasing back points.
  
  Game on.
  
  Press releases to follow.
  
  ENDS
  
  ez alapján pedrosa debüt versenyén nagy győztesnek számít szerintem.

  ...egy fecske nem csinál nyarat, viszont egy hülye százat csinál...
