Secara agresif, pembalap asal Italia itu menyalip Casey Stoner di tikungan kedelapan atau dikenal dengan crokscrew curve.

Aksinya tersebut membuat lomba berjalan menegangkan. Namun, tak sedikit yang menilai apa yang dilakukan Rossi, membahayakan.

Potensi keduanya bersenggolan, ketika itu, sangat besar. "Itu merupakan balapan legendaris karena menghadirkan persaingan yang luar biasa."

"Saya rasa, hal-hal seperti (persaingan di lintasan) itulah yang menjadi salah satu daya tarik MotoGP," Rossi menambahkan. 

Kolektor sembilan gelar juara dunia itu menjelaskan, mengapa saat itu dirinya ngotot untuk meraih kemenangan di Laguna Seca.

"Kemenangan terasa spesial karena Stoner begitu kuat. Pada 2007, dia juara bersama Ducati dan 2008 menjadi krusial untuk saya."

"MotoGP 2008 menjadi sangat penting untuk saya, setelah gagal juara pada dua tahun sebelumnya," pembalap 41 tahun itu menuturkan.

Tak hanya paceklik gelar pada dua musim sebelumnya, MotoGP memutuskan untuk mengubah pemasok ban dari Michelin ke Bridgestone. 

Stoner mampu melesat di Sirkuit Laguna Seca, AS, karena karakter lintasan yang dianggap cocok dengan karakter motor Ducati.

"Saya tertinggal pada latihan bebas. Itu sebabnya saya menekan sejak tikungan pertama. Saya ingin tetap di depan, karena sulit menyalip di Laguna Seca," kata Rossi.

"Berduel dengannya selalu menyenangkan karena dia asalah salah satu talenta terbaik dalam ajang ini," The Doctor menambahkan.
