It’s a good time to be a motorcycle road racing fan in the U.S. with a World Superbike round at Miller Motorsports Park, and MotoGP races at Laguna Seca and Indianapolis. This weekend the MotoGP and AMA riders are in Monterey for USGP #1. Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner are in a fight for the MotoGP title, but American Colin Edwards has been having a solid year on the Tech 3 Yamaha and is tied for fifth in the standings. Nicky Hayden has been struggling on the Ducati, but looked strong in the last race at Assen where he finished eighth.Last year’s race was a memorable battle between Rossi and Stoner, that saw Rossi going inside and off the track in the Corkscrew to take the lead. Stoner eventually ran wide and crashed in turn eleven with eight laps to go, and Rossi cruised to the victory.
