Andrea Dovizioso obtine prima sa victorie de la clasa MotoGP, dupa o cursa in care cazaturile lui Jorge Lorenzo si Valentino Rossi au schimbat situatia in fruntea clasamentului. In ultimele tururi s-a dat lupta pentru ultimele doua locuri ale podiumului. Tornada Colin Edwards a reusit sa-i sufle locul al doilea lui Randy De Puniet, inainte de ultimul viraj.
Jorge Lorenzo conducea ostilitatile la Donington Park in turul al noualea, pana in momentul in care "i-a disparut" motocicleta. Spaniolul a cazut, iar motocicleta sa "s-a ratacit" in zidul de protectie. Valentino Rossi a cazut cu 11 tururi inainte final, dar a reusit sa revina pe circuit si s-a clasat pe locul al cincilea.
Ducati nu a avut o cursa buna, pilotii Stoner si Hayden clasandu-se ultimii in cursa. Toni Elias a fost un alt ghinionist al etapei, pilotul fiind actorul principal al unei cazaturi spectaculoase. A fortat depasirea lui Pedrosa pentru pozitia a treia si a fost nevoit sa abandoneze.
Ploaia a facut legea la clasa 125cc, după 13 tururi cursa fiind întreruptă pentru jumatate de ora. Cursa s-a reluat, dar organizatorii au decis să o scurteze cu cinci tururi. Julian Simon a obtinut victoria la Donington, urmat pe podium de Simone Corsi si Scott Redding.
Aoyama a obtinut a treia victorie din acest sezon la clasa 250cc. Alvaro Bautista s-a clasat pe locul al doilea, fiind urmat in clasament de Mattia Pasini.
