AUSTRALIAN Casey Stoner moved a step closer to the MotoGP world title when he streaked away to win the Aragon Grand Prix in Alcaniz, Spain, yesterday.
The 2007 champion had started on pole, having set a lap record in qualifying, and after briefly slipping down to third he hit the front on the second lap and left the rest of the field trailing. Spaniard Dani Pedrosa, Stoner's Repsol Honda teammate, claimed his third consecutive runner-up spot while defending champion Jorge Lorenzo was third on a Yamaha. With four races left, championship leader Stoner extended his lead over Lorenzo to 44 points, climbing to 284.
