 Stoner made his move in turn at Turn 9, forcing Hayden to go wide as a result.Melandri then overtakes Pedrosa with more speed at the straight before Turn 12, taking over the lead at the front.Going into lap eighteen and Stoner makes good use of a small mistake of Pedrosa, who kept his front wheel in the air and lost some speed as a result, overtaking him for second on the start/finish straight.
