2008 United States motorcycle Grand Prix

The 2008 United States motorcycle Grand Prix was the eleventh round of the 2008 MotoGP championship. It took place on the weekend of July 18-20, 2008, at the Laguna Seca circuit. It was an eventful race between Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner where the leading rider was constantly changing between the two. On lap 23 with Rossi leading Stoner entered into the last corner too deep ending up in the gravel on the outside of the track. Rossi retained his position for the remaining of the laps while Stoner managed to stay in the second place despite the mistake. Rossi won for the first time at Laguna Seca and Stoner set a new circuit record lap time of 1:21.915.

As usual, only the MotoGP class was permitted to race at Laguna Seca due to the Californian air pollution law prohibiting two-stroke engines in the state.
