Motogp: Dutch four-timer beckons for Stoner

ASSEN: Jorge Lorenzo lines up for tomorrow’s Dutch MotoGP aiming to succeed where Casey Stoner failed by making it four wins on the bounce. Since Stoner’s solitary win here in 2008 it has been all Yamaha, with Valentino Rossi’s win in 2009, Lorenzo a year later and then Spies, the American’s first and to date sole success in MotoGP. “We’ve had a tough start to the year but have made good steps forward so I’m confident that we can step up and be fighting for the podium this weekend,” said Stoner.
