Sunday Race Images from Laguna Seca

 Wow, what a race! Rossi was all business on the grid.

Stoner was focused.

The front row prepared for battle...

And what a battle!

Vermeulen rode to a lonely third...

On the podium, Rossi broke the ice.

But there seemed a difference of opinions about some of the passes.

The podium was tense during the Italian anthem.

Rossi was happy.

Very happy.

You could even tell by his wheelie...he was happy.
