Stoner Claims Fourth Consecutive Australian GP

Producing a repeat performance of his spectacular pace in qualifying, Casey Stoner dominated the Australian Grand Prix to take his third victory of the season and his fourth consecutively at the Phillip Island circuit. From pole, the Australian never looked back as he romped to a convincing victory using Bridgestone’s softer option slicks front and rear. Every rider used Bridgestone’s softer option front and rear slicks in the cold conditions; the weekend was the first time Bridgestone’s softer option asymmetric rear slicks featured the new extra soft compound in the right shoulders for improved warm-up performance and grip in the cold.
