In a few day’s time we will find out whether Valentino Rossi will extend his lead in the MotoGP, though it could be a hard task as the 29-year-old has never achieved a victory at Laguna Seca in California.

Rossi is leading with 16 points on Dani Pedrosa, and believes he had a good performance on Sunday. Pedrosa was injured in the last race and it’s still unknown whether he will race on the weekend. He injured his finger and ankle in a crash in heavy rain.

Rossi will want to start in the front row, as will Casey Stoner who will be trying for a fourth win. Stoner is in third position, 20 points behind Rossi. With three wins and four pole positions over the last four races, Stoner has again found his rhythm with the Desmosedici GP8.

After four long years, the championship returns to US shores. This time, races won’t be at Laguna Seca (10 races held between 1995 and 2004), but at Brainerd, where the WSBK Championship hasn’t been since 1991.

The track chosen for the Grand Prix of June 1 is Miller Motorsports Park. With the speciality of this sport pratically born and bred in the US, we should see some serious passion from the local public.
