Rossi strikes back with sixth home win

Valentino Rossi has beaten MotoGP World Championship leader Casey Stoner for the first time in four races, by winning his home Italian Grand Prix for a record sixth time in succession.Rossi had lost points to Stoner ever since victory at round two of the championship in Jerez, when the Italian had beaten Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa - and it was the Spaniard, rather than the Ducati rider, who proved Rossi's closest rival at Mugello.


Riding with a large red heart on his helmet - to signify that, despite what the Italian media may think, he hasn't lost his 'heart' for a fight or love of MotoGP - Rossi was indeed forced to dug deep as he slumped from the front row to eighth at turn one, while pole sitter Stoner stormed to an early lead for the home manufacturer.
