 Rossi caught Hayden with only 2 laps to go, but Stoner was simply too far already to be challenged for the win.By this stage of the race, Hayden's rear tyre was very worn as he had not conserved it in the early stages of the race.Rossi pulled a textbook move going into turn 1 on the last lap, Hayden lost ground from here and could not get close enough to attempt to retake second place.
