MANILA, Philippines -- Repsol Honda rider Casey Stoner continued his march to the 2011 MotoGP World Championship with a dominant victory over teammate Dani Pedrosa in the Indianapolis Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last Sunday. Joining the Honda riders on the podium was Yamaha rider Ben Spies.

Andrea Dovizioso, who is also a Repsol Honda rider, recorded his fastest lap on the final tour of “The Brickyard” to close in on fourth place finisher Jorge Lorenzo before finishing a close fifth.

The 12th round of the MotoGP World Championship culminated an action packed weekend during which the recently repaved infield was heavily criticized by the riders. Stoner was among the most critical of the track.

The MotoGP and Moto2 paddock now heads quickly back to Europe for next Sunday’s San Marino Grand Prix in Misano, Italy. (Edited by Anjo Perez)
