With hardly any time to catch their breath from the Indy GP, the MotoGP riders return to action this weekend at San Marino. Casey Stoner is starting to run away at the top, but Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, and Andrea Dovizioso will do their best to real him back in this weekend in Italy.
Here are some stats for the Misano GP.
