2007 Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix - MotoGP Sunday Action

A Perfect Day for the MotoGP and Superbike Races

Unlike the freak heat wave last year that overloaded the medical staff with many cases of heat stroke this years weekend provided the normal Monterey weather, Fog in the morning and comfortable warm temperatures in the afternoon. The vendors had reasonable prices and plentiful suplies of water so race fans could stay hydrated.

Red Bull MotoGP Race

The U.S. Grand Prix MotoGP race was not friendly to the American riders.

John Hopkins finished in 15th place. Kurtis Roberts retired after several laps.
