MotoGP: Dani Pedrosa crash hands title to Jorge Lorenzo

Spanish MotoGP rider Dani Pedrosa crashes out on the second lap of the Australian GP, handing Jorge Lorenzo the world championship at Phillip Island.

Lorenzo finished second to seal his second MotoGP title, while Australian Casey Stoner, who retires at the end of the season, won his home race for the sixth successive year.
