GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE

Last May 17 at Le Mans circuit, World Champion Valentino Rossi suffered a lot of problems. As he returned to the pit 4 times (3 times for changing the tires and 1 penalty imposed for excessive speed in the pit lane). With these problems he encountered, he didn't get any score. Now, his fellow team mate Jorge Lorenzo was the first in the overall standing. Better luck next time, Valentino...:-)
