Moto Gp: Lorenzo eyes best of British

SILVERSTONE: World champion Jorge Lorenzo looks for a repeat of last year’s ‘almost perfect’ British Grand Prix win when he resumes his title duel with Australia’s Casey Stoner this weekend. Yamaha rider Lorenzo saw his world championship lead cut to seven points by Honda’s Stoner in last week’s Catalunya Grand Prix, but he will have the advantage tomorrow.”Last year, I put in one of the best races, it was almost perfect,” said the Spaniard, who has enjoyed his trips to the United Kingdom, having won the event at Donington in 2007 and 2008. Lorenzo has also won three times in five races this season, but Stoner believes he has nothing to fear at Silverstone.
