Spain’s Dani Pedrosa was first over the line in the German MotoGP at Sachsenring, ending compatriot Jorge Lorenzo’s three-race winning streak . Casey Stoner was third and Valentino Rossi, making an amazing comeback after breaking his leg just six weeks ago, was fourth.
The race was restarted and reduced to 21 laps after a three-bike crash on lap nine involving Randy de Puniet, Aleix Espargaro and Alvaro Bautista.
