With the weather always unpredictable at Phillip Island, concern on what was above quickly turned to concern on the track, as Jorge Lorenzo suffered a weekend-ending finger injury after a violent tankslapper sent the Spaniard to the tarmac in Turn 12. Out of the Australian GP, the incident all but assures Casey Stoner of clinching the 2011 MotoGP Championship at ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/motogp-australian-gp-2011/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>MotoGP: Rain-Soaked British GP Shakes-up Championship</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/2011-british-gp-motogp/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/2011-british-gp-motogp/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 12 Jun 2011 18:05:55 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Andrea Dovizioso]]></category> <category><![CDATA[British GP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Casey Stoner]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Colin Edwards]]></category> <category><![CDATA[england]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[race]]></category> <category><![CDATA[race results]]></category> <category><![CDATA[rain]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Silverstone]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UK]]></category> <category><![CDATA[United Kingdom]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=22746</guid> <description><![CDATA[The nice British weather could only hold-out for so long at Silverstone this race weekend, as MotoGP came to the English track for the British GP. Accordingly, Sunday&#8217;s MotoGP race was soaked to the bone with rain, as Casey Stoner took his pole position for the day&#8217;s start.

With the forecast showing strong rain storms coming in the afternoon, race control was eager to get racing underway.

With the Catalan track damp in some sections, riders started out on slick Bridgestone tires, hoping for the best in what would fall from the heavens in the coming laps.

MotoGP set sail this weekend, as the Estoril GP looked more like a regatta than a GP race with all the water on the track. A monsoon storm has hit Portugal, causing two for the four practice sessions, including Saturday&#8217;s qualifying session, to be canceled because of the inclement weather.

As such, the water soaked track feasted upon the unsuspecting riders as they left pit-lane wearing full sets of rains. In total, six riders touched the asphalt with more than a knee puck or elbow, with Turn 6 responsible for the majority of that action.
