Stoner's title, his first, capped a sensational win for Ducati and Bridgestone, who also took their inaugural crowns. On a damp track it was polesitter Dani Pedrosa who assumed an immediate lead on his Repsol Honda from Toni Elias and Valentino Rossi into the first corner.
By the end of the lap though it was wet-weather specialist Anthony West who was the Spaniard's biggest threat, and the Australian nailed him for the lead on lap three into turn 11 after ducking out of the slipstream to make the move.
