Yamaha YZR-M1 (Valentino Rossi Estoril Moto GP 2009) in Silver & White (1:12 scale)
- The excitement before the start at the Grand Prix of Estoril was overwhelming, since everybody expected a strong Yamaha performance, but the 50.000 spectators were stunned, when Dani Pedrosa entered the first corner as the leader, as he had overtaken Lorenzo & Valentino Rossi. Starting from the second row, Pedrosa overtook his rivals & was in 1st place, due to a superb start, but this would not hold for long: still in the first lap Lorenzo underlined his role as dominator. In his usual “as cold as ice” style he overtook his competitors & layed the foundation for his victory at Estoril. While Lorenzo was driving one record lap after another, the remaining Moto GP riders were doomed to be his spectators from the remaining positions. Rossi lost a number of positions already at the start & was overtaken by Pedrosa & Stoner, which moved him into fourth place. Still in the beginning Stoner captured the second spot & all drivers in the top 4 kept their place until the very end of the race. ©autobild.
