The Former MotoGP world champion proved his mettle by putting in some pretty fast lap times in the practice session of the British Grand Prix at Siverstone. In the third and the final practice session, Casey Stoner timed the fastest lap times.

The Honda Driver is currently second in the rankings of MotoGP with 95 points and two wins under his belt. With 11 minutes remaining on the time, he surpassed Yamaha driver Jorge Lorenzo from the top position during a cold, damp and windy final practice session at Silverstone. He then improved on his timing clocking 2m03.941s.

The third spot was clinched by another Yamaha rider Ben Spies. The top six were completed by Andrea Dovizioso, Alvaro Bautista and Dani Pedrosa. It was not a good day for Ducati as both his riders, Nicky Hayden and Valentino Rossi came in at seventh and ninth respectively.

The Tech-3 Driver Cal Crutchlow had to go down in a crash as he lost his front wheel. He now has a broken ankle and is not sure to take part in the race. Another driver LCR Honda's Stefan Bradl was involved in a crash and was taken to a medical center.
