Rossi Estoril 2007, originally uploaded by dhani88.

Rossi took a wonderful win at Estoril following a brilliant battle at the front with Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa - to temporarily put Casey Stoner's title celebrations on hold.

Rossi duelling with Pedrosa throughout the final stages of the race, eventually crossing the line just 0.175s in front of the Spanish rider to claim his fourth victory of the season and his first win since Assen in June.

The result was great news for Yamaha with Rossi making the most of his recently updated M1 800cc prototype machinery answering the critics in style after his Misano setback.
