Rossi extends lead

Valentino Rossi has increased his lead in the MotoGP championship to 50 points after a win in the Czech MotoGP yesterday.

Valentino Rossi moved two races clear at the top of the championship with his fifth win of the season, enjoying an easy ride home after his closest rival Casey Stoner crashed out on lap seven.
Rossi was left to race the remaining 15 laps alone and unchallenged, eventually coming home 15 seconds clear of Toni Elias. The seven-time world champion's 67th premier-class victory takes him within one race of the all-time premier-class record, held by his compatriot Giacomo Agostini.
