MotoGP - 2009 - Round 9 - Sachsenring

Suzi Perry introduces live coverage of round nine of this season's MotoGP championship from the Sachsenring circuit in Germany. Last year 2007 World Champion Casey Stoner dominated proceedings throughout the weekend; his victory from pole position gave Ducati their first win at the German venue, whilst it was also the 100th triumph by an Australian in the top class. Valentino Rossi was another to excel on the 2.2 mile long circuit, improving from seventh on the grid at the start of the race to take second place, enough to move him up to championship leader in the overall standings.
