Casey Stoner wins final MotoGP of the season in Valencia
Casey Stoner produced a remarkable late charge to win in Valencia as MotoGP remembered Marco Simoncelli.
The riders in all three classes gathered for a tribute before the race to Simoncelli - who was killed in the Malaysian MotoGP.
Stoner escaped a first-corner collision which saw four riders crash and somehow overtook Ben Spies on the final corner to win his 10th race of the year.
2011 WORLD CHAMPIONS
- MotoGP: Casey Stoner
- Moto2: Stefan Bradl
- 125cc: Nicolas Terol
Simoncelli's Gresini team earlier saw Michele Pirro win the Moto2 race.
British rider Cal Crutchlow managed to finish fourth - the best finish of his MotoGP career - as he claimed the rookie of the year award.
The MotoGP riders started the race on slick tyres in difficult conditions as a light drizzle fell over some of the circuit, and there was instant drama as four riders crashed out at the first corner.
Alvaro Bautista clipped the back tyre of Andrea Dovizioso and slid off, skittling the bikes of Valentino Rossi, Nicky Hayden and Randy De Puniet in the process.
All four riders were unhurt in the accident.
Stoner got away safely to lead from Dani Pedrosa and Spies, before Dovizioso battled through to take second.
Stoner backed off as the rain started to fall heavily and Spies moved up into second place, with the lead falling to 1.294 seconds with four laps remaining.
