Honda's Dani Pedrosa won the French MotoGP at Le Mans on Sunday from Cal Crutchlow to take the lead in the world championship standings. The Spaniard, following up his win in Spain last time out, made light of the tricky early wet conditions to cross the line five seconds clear of Crutchlow. The Briton manfully shrugged off a fracture to his right shin in a crash in qualifying 24 hours earlier to notch up his best ever MotoGP result.

Rossi is in the middle of an alarming winning drought with his 79th and last triumph coming in Malaysia in October 2010 before he switched to his unsuccessful two-year spell at Ducati.
