Repsol Honda’s Nicky Hayden has gone from pole position to victory to cap off a perfect weekend, the young American having dominated every session of the Red Bull US Grand Prix. Hayden took an impressive flag-to-flag win ahead of Yamaha Factory riders Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi.
Hayden, in what was his 38th GP start, grabbed the holeshot and quickly escaped ahead of Championship leader Rossi. The Italian wasn’t able to match the Honda rider’s pace and was eventually beaten by his team-mate Colin Edwards.
Hayden’s team-mate Max Biaggi secured fourth after a fierce battle against Sete Gibernau, who made a blazing start from 13th on the grid to fight for a top 5 result. Troy Bayliss took sixth ahead of Makoto Tamada and John Hopkins.
The first lap of the race was marred by an incident involving Alex Barros and Marco Melandri, with both riders crashing in the last corner leading to the main straight. Other incidents saw Carlos Checa crashing out and Roberto Rolfo retiring.

Local hero Colin Edwards took sixth, while Max Biaggi, Carlos Checa, Sete Gibernau and Marco Melandri completed the top 10.

I also talked to Dylan today. He may come with us too.

Cant wait for the 2005 season to start. YEEHAW!
First race is tomorrow. opening round in Jerez. As usual Valentino Rossi will start the season from the pole position.
I cant think of anything else. I will report tomorrow after the race. later
From Motogp.com
Valentino Rossi will start the defence of his MotoGP World Championship title from pole position when the 2005 season gets underway at Jerez on Sunday after a stunning new lap record in today’s qualifying session. Rossi clocked a time of 1’39.419 to overcome the challenge of local hero Sete Gibernau and knock almost one and a half seconds off his previous record, set last season.
"My fast lap was incredible!” smiled Rossi at the end of the single qualifying practice, which this year replaces the previous format of two sessions over the two days previous to the race for the MotoGP class only. “Michelin made a great job with the qualifying tyres – my first one was good but the second was even better. There is a big question mark over the tyre choice for the race tomorrow because after a few laps they start to slide a lot, but it’s the same situation for everyone. Now we’re just looking for good weather tomorrow and hopefully it will be a beautiful race.”
Rossi is not the only person in Jerez keeping their fingers crossed for good weather, with crowd figures expected to top the 125,000 who turned out here in torrential rain last season. Huge local support was on hand today to back Gibernau’s challenge for pole, which fell some 0.496 seconds short of Rossi’s stunning lap time.
Gibernau will attack Rossi from second place on tomorrow’s grid and he will be joined on the front row by Marco Melandri, who will start his first MotoGP race for Honda from third spot. Melandri’s late effort knocked factory colleague and fellow youngster Nicky Hayden back to the second row, where he is joined by Kawasaki rider Shinya Nakano and Ducati’s Loris Capirossi, who rode with a chipped bone in his ankle after crashing in this morning’s free practice.
Makoto Tamada made a late charge to seventh place ahead of Honda colleagues Alex Barros and Troy Bayliss, denying Alex Hofmann a third row start as the German dropped to tenth place on the Kawasaki. John Hopkins battled through a bout of the flu and the effects of a crash this morning to qualify eleventh on the Suzuki whilst Ducati rival Carlos Checa, who is struggling with a shoulder injury, was twelfth.
The surprise of the session came from Spanish rookie Toni Elías, who will make his MotoGP debut on the Yamaha tomorrow ahead of vastly more experienced rivals such as Kenny Roberts, Colin Edwards and Max Biaggi.
