i don't think anyone said Ducati can only win due to its 'straight line speed' (i presume that's what you mean).
another mature race from Stoner and quality wet ride from Vermuelen.
what sort of lap times was Westy putting down after his fall compared to Stoner, Edwards, Vermuelen and Rossi? prior to the fall he was looking very good, was he able to keep the pace up (relatively) as the track dried?
