Casey Stoner cruised to victory at Donington park, ahead of Valentino Rossi who shook off pursuing Dani Pedrosa in the closing laps. Edwards was fourth, Dovizioso fifth and Lorenzoe worked his way up to sixth after a poor qualifying performance.

James Toseland crashed on the first corner of the first lap, remounting to limp aorund and finish in 17th place. Toseland: "It is hard to explain just how disappointed how I am. I really wanted to get a good result for my home crowd but it was always going to be difficult after the problems of yesterday. Starting from 16th was always going to be tough but I decided to attack from the start. I made a good start and passed a few people and didn't think I was too fast into the first corner but the rear end came round and I was down.

"I could have just cruised back to the pits but a lot of people had come to see me ride. I was hurting because I hit my head pretty hard and I smacked my right hand down on the tarmac. And the right footpeg had snapped off, but I soldiered on because I wanted to get to that chequered flag more than anything. I was going to finish for all those fans, who have been unbelievable supporting me since I arrived here.

"I will bounce back from this but it has got to be one of the biggest disappointments of my career. It is not in my nature to give up and I didn't today, and I know my turn will come. I am obviously disappointed, but I have to congratulate Scott Redding. He did an amazing job and it was great for the British fans to see him do that."
