Dani Pedrosa finally earned a long deserving victory for Honda in 2007. Pedrosa had fantastic start from second place on the grid, leading throughout the race, maintaining a quick pace that proved too high for competitors to catch and finishing the race ~13 seconds ahead of Loris Capirossi, the old warrior on a Ducati who rode at a steady pace to finish second on the podium. Nicky Hayden, who took the third podium spot, making great comeback from 14th on the grid, completed HRC Repsol Honda success.Colin Edwards provided some consolation to Yamaha finishing 4th after making a comeback from a distant 13th grid position as the more prolific Rossi crashed in lap 5, while trying to overtake Randy de Puniet for 6th place. Rossi will be under tremendous pressure as the MotoGP moves to Laguna Seca, where Rossi does not have a history of great results in the past.
Casey Stoner missed chance to make maximum of Valentino Rossi retirement as he finished race in 5th place, extending championship lead to 32 points followed by Marco Melandri, who looked strong in first part of the race.
