It's Casey Stoner's World, We Just Live In It

Well, Australian MotoGP rider Casey Stoner takes his 7th win this season at the Czech Grand Prix today. I think his Ducati has jet fuel or something. The guy is simply dominating the field this year. He is sitting at 246 points over Valentino Rossi's 186. With 6 races left, there is still an opportunity for Rossi to come through, but if the first 12 races are any indication, this is the year of the Stoner. Heh...I slay me.

In second place was John Hopkins. This was his highest finish in the MotoGP ranks, and he ran an excellent race. Rounding out the podium was reigning World Champ Nicky Hayden, who has made 3 podium appearances in his last 4 races. Hayden started off a tad rough after being in the second position. Hayden's teammate Dani Pedrosa finished fourth, with Chris Vermeulen rounding out the top 5.

Let's not kid ourselves, Stoner won it big...7+ seconds between he and Hopkins.

Next up is San Marino. Go Nicky Hayden!!
