Moto GP: Stoner wins in Britain

Australia's Casey Stoner replaced Jorge Lorenzo at the top of the MotoGP standings after winning his fourth race of the season at a soggy British Grand Prix yesterday.

Lorenzo succumbed to the horrendous conditions at a wet and windswept Silverstone, sliding off on lap 10 to allow Stoner to move 18 points clear of the defending champion in the riders' standings after his 150th MotoGP race. Stoner cruised home with a huge 15-second lead.
