Pasindu powers Gajaba Supercross

Aravinda Premadasa was a notable absentee in the super car event due to a technical failure of his car but the stocky driver was moving between paddocks and the winners, with a gentle smile on his face. It looked that rising star, Shehan C. Adhikari is gearing up to take the baton from his seniors with three easy wins in Motor Cycle events. The lad, who still rides under 16 categories, won both of Group MX - Motocross Bikes up to 85 CC events and Group MX - Motocross Bikes up to 125 CC events.
He showed great skill and character as he fought hard with a well experienced Shanaka Sandaruwan who was riding a 150 CC Honda CR, against Adhikari's 85 CC Honda CR.
The incident of the day was Upulwan Serasinghe's car rolling upside down. The Ford Laser specialist, Serasinghe won the SLN Cars Ford Laser/Mazda 1300 CC event easily before going out of the competition in the 1500 CC event.



The race was stopped and restarted after clearing the track but without 'Sera' and Kirinde where Chaminda Weerasooriya had an easy win. Sampath Kumara won both of the Street Trail events for Standard/Modified motor cycles while Suraj Perera foxing Thusith Gunasekara in the Super Motard up to 450 CC event with few yards to the chequered flag.
The event was superbly organized and conducted by Gajaba regiment in association with SLARDAR (Sri Lanka Association of Racing Drivers And Riders)

The three Repsol Honda riders battled hard during the 28 lap race in incredibly hot and humid conditions

The three Repsol Honda riders battled hard during the 28 lap race in incredibly hot and humid conditions. Jorge Lorenzo took an early lead from the front row with Stoner and Pedrosa following closely behind. The Australian rider maintained the gap to Lorenzo at under three tenths of a second for the first ten laps, but then fatigue kicked in and he was unable to match Lorenzo's pace, who gradually pulled away. Stoner tried to keep a distance to third place Pedrosa, but was unable to fend of his Spanish team mate who passed him on lap 22.
Andrea Dovizioso was involved in a close battle for fourth with Simoncelli and Spies. The Italian jumped from sixth to fourth in the first corner off a great start, but was passed by Simoncelli on lap seven. He kept Spies behind him for the entire race and on lap 25 managed to pass Simoncelli to take fourth. But on the final lap, Simoncelli regained fourth place and Dovizioso had to settle for fifth.
The riders will now enjoy a week of rest before heading to Aragon for Round 14 of the MotoGP World Championship on Sunday 18 September.
Dani Pedrosa:
"I'm a little disappointed with the race because the bike didn't feel as good as in practice. The second part of the race was good, Jorge had a perfect race today, but I was able improve my times lap by lap and catch Casey. We've been lucky today as it was cooler than yesterday the rain didn't come. It's been two demanding races in a row and this one in particular was the toughest of the season so far - the circuit is challenging with so many hard braking areas and it's been very hot again, also after Indy it's been difficult to recover from the jet lag. Let's hope we can get some rest and be stronger for Aragon."
Casey Stoner:
"At the beginning of the race I was cautious as there were a few spots of rain, once this cleared up I was pretty comfortable behind Jorge, I didn't feel the need to push and then tiredness suddenly hit me. It was hard to find the braking points and change direction on the bike, there was nothing wrong with the tyres, nothing wrong with the bike, the team did a great job and gave me a fantastic package, I'm just worn out. I had to put in a lot more effort into Laguna and Brno, riding a lot harder than I normally would. All credit to Jorge, he had a fantastic race, hopefully by Aragon I'll be fully fit and recovered."
Andrea Dovizioso:
“It was a tough race, I had to push hard and ride aggressively and we had to cut the power a lot due to fuel consumption issues. I knew that with this cut in power it would have been impossible to fight for the podium, so this affected my motivation. We had a good battle with Marco and Spies; for the first time this season Marco beat me so congratulations to him. Our target was to gain some points on Lorenzo and we didn’t manage it.
