The sixth MotoGP race of the season this afternoon saw the superb Valentino Rossi take an awesome victory at his home circuit of Mugello, at the Gran Premio d'Italia Alice. The Doctor started the race third on the grid but early in the race had slipped down to seventh at one stage, before battling back to take the win ahead of Repsol HondaÌs Dani Pedrosa who finished second. Predrosa came from eighth on the grid himself to keep in touch with the championship leaders with his second place result, while third place went to Alex Barros - who made good use of his Pramac d'Antin Ducati power in front of the Italian crowd to overtake Casey Stoner late in the race. Stoner's fourth place keeps him in the lead in the general classification, but his advantage has now been slashed to nine points by the rampant Rossi, who took his sixth home victory in succession.
