Valentino Rossi extend his lead in the MotoGP Worldchampionship after winning the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix.
However the race was cut after only seven laps to go because of the rain and high winds.
Nicky Hayden took 2nd, Lorenzo 3rd, and Stoner 4th position.
Casey Stoner said after the race:“I think it was the right decision to stop the race because the conditions were really dangerous- more for the strong wind than the heavy rain, which made it difficult to keep the bike upright.
I’m never going to be satisfied with fourth place but it would have been foolish to push harder in those conditions and I made the right decision not to do so.
I got a good start but I quickly lost confidence because the rear tyre was tearing up quickly and by the time they stopped the race I was struggling to hold my lap times.
