Century of wins for Rossi

Motorsport story by sport.co.uk, Mon, 29 Jun 2009 08:51:42 GMT



Valentino Rossi earned his 100th career victory as he romped to the Dutch MotoGP at Assen to go clear in the MotoGP world championship standings. The Italian came home ahead of Fiat Yamaha teammate Jorge Lorenzo, with Australia's Casey Stoner, who initially led the race, finishing third.
Honda duo Dani Pedrosa and Andrea Dovizioso crashed out from threatening positions on the same corner.



Their exits helped Britain's James Toseland to sixth, his best result of the season.



A delighted Rossi told the BBC: "I'm so happy, it was a great race. I felt good from the first lap, so I decided to push to the maximum.



"I know Jorge Lorenzo is hard to beat but I have great pace, the tyres worked very well and Yamaha is fantastic on this track."
