Casey Stoner shares title lead with Lorenzo

CASEY Stoner moved back on top of the championship standings after winning the Dutch MotoGP ahead of Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa at Assen.
The world champion started on pole but soon found himself behind Pedrosa before re-taking the lead with nine laps remaining and surging clear to win by almost five seconds.
Italy's Andrea Dovizioso finished third ahead of fellow Yamaha rider Ben Spies of the United States.
However the race was overshadowed by an early crash involving Alvaro Bautista and Jorge Lorenzo that denied Yamaha's world championship leader the chance of a fourth successive victory.
Lorenzo was furious after being taken out at turn one and the Spaniard was forced to watch as Stoner joined him at the top of the overall standings.
