Casey Stoner tonight announced another season of domination, as he demolished his competitors in last part of the race, when he set string of record laps. However, it did not seem that way in first few laps, which were led by Dani Pedrosa, who had fantastic start. In opening stages, stoner was buried behind bunch of Yamahas, looking like being in trouble. On the other hand, Rossi seemed like man on the mission, as he started overtaking his competitors one by one, soon getting into the lead. But, soon things get turned around...
In the arena that night, the whole last minute was drowned out by cheers — and then when the soaring music swelled, the confetti rained down as the harbinger of balloons and the hopeful first family took the stage, forget about it — it was a perfect end to a convention that last Monday, no one even knew if it would happen. But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.

extremely dangerous Category 4 storm on Sunday and was forecast
to sweep into the central Gulf of Mexico as a large and
powerful storm echoing Hurricane Gustav.
