Dani Pedrosa achieved victory in the San Marino MotoGP race but the event was dominated by the tragic death of Japanese rider Shoya Tomizawa (Technomag-CIP, Suter), who passed away after an accident during the Moto2 race.
Dani Pedrosa kept the momentum rolling at Misano, adding a brilliant San Marino Grand Prix pole position to the dominant race win he took at Indianapolis last Sunday.
