Yamaha Racing MotoGP rider Jorge Lorenzo, of Spain, and Repsol Honda Team’s Casey Stoner, of Australia, head to this weekend’s German Grand Prix neck and neck in the championship on 140 points apiece.

Lorenzo pipped Stoner for second place at the Sachsenring circuit last year, while the Australian’s team-mate Dani Pedrosa, of Spain, took victory.

Sunday’s main race gets the green light at 6pm Cambodian time.
