Yamaha chance of triple crown - 'Rider, Team & Constructors'

Looking back over the ten rounds of the 2009 World Championship to date, as MotoGP begins its short summer break, Yamaha’s dominance has been an evident trend thus far. Indeed, last weekend’s final visit to Donington Park for the British Grand Prix was the first time that neither Valentino Rossi or his team mate Jorge Lorenzo have finished on the podium this year. With MotoGP’s two main protagonists thus far in 2009 on their books it is no surprise to see the Fiat Yamaha team sitting 140 points clear at the head of the Teams’ World Championship standings. Yamaha have an strong chance of repeating 2008’s triple crown of Rider, Team and Constructors’ World titles.
