MONTEREY, Calif- Jorge Lorenzo extended his lead at the top of the championship standings to 72 points after winning the MotoGP World Championship.

The spaniard capitalized on an error by his closest rival Dani Pedrosa, who was out in front when he crashed out at turn five with 21 laps to go. Yamaha's Lorenzo cruised to the win once he had clear track ahead of him.

Casey Stoner came second and Valentino Rossi achieved a superb third place in only his second race since returning after six weeks out with a broken leg.

The victory was Lorenzo's fourth in the last five races.
