Stoner and Ducati stay in pole position

Posted : 25-06-2007

It was another nail-biting race this weekend as the Nickel & Dime British Grand Prix set the scene for MotoGP fans to enjoy yet another spectacular show.

Australian whiz-kid Casey Stoner claimed first place one again - following his victories in Qatar, Turkey, China and Spain - managing to keep Valentino Rossi a whopping 26 points behind in the official rankings.

The Italian came in fourth at Donington Park, where riders completed 30 laps in wet and rather windy weather.

Ducati Marlboro - which looks after Stoner and team-mate Loris Capirossi - stays in first place in the constructor rankings, even though Capirossi failed to finish the race and now sits ninth overall with 57 points.

Meanwhile, Stoner told the championship's official website that his bike was part of the winning formula.

"It doesn't have any particular weak points," he said. "It was the best bike working out there."
