MOTOR CYCLING
Jorge Lorenzo closed the gap to Casey Stoner at the
top of the MotoGP standings with his third win of the season in
Sunday's Gran Premio di San Marino. The Spaniard led throughout on
his factory Yamaha at Misano to end Stoner's three-race winning run,
with compatriot Dani Pedrosa second as Stoner was forced to settle
for the final podium spot.
ROWING
The medals continued to stack up for Great Britain on
the final day of competition at the World Championships in Slovenia.
Olympic champions Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter successfully
defended their lightweight men's double scull, while the men's four
of Alex Gregory, Ric Egington, Tom James and
Matt Langridge also won gold. There was a bronze medal for
Hester Goodsell and Sophie Hosking in the lightweight women's double
scull, and a gold for the Paralympic-class mixed adaptive coxed four.
That brought the overall GB medal tally to 14, good enough to top the table. |
