Valentino Rossi today took his 6th MotoGP title from first attempt - winning Japanese Grand Prix in front of Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa. Rossi regained title after two fruitless seasons, demonstrating determination to bring title with victory. At the same time, Rossi brought Manufacturer and Team titles for Yamaha and the Fiat Yamaha Team. However, winning the race in Motegi was not so simple, as he had another great battle with Casey Stoner, which he managed to win 10 laps before the end of the race. Casey Stoner settled in second, while Dani Pedrosa managed to defend third place from charging Jorge Lorenzo.After first 4 finishers separated by about 6 seconds, Nicky Hayden led group of 5 riders in reach of 5th position. Loris Capirossi ended Japanese Grand Prix in 6th place after three consecutive victories. Capirossi managed to keep Colin Edwards in 7th place, while Shinya Nakano ended race in 8th. Andrea Dovizioso was not as impressive as we used to see him in previous races, finishing 9th on Honda home track. John Hopkins brought Kawasaki to 10th place.
