Audi clean-sweep at Le Mans


Audi defended their Le Mans 24 Hours endurance title yesterday with Germany's Andre Lotterer taking the chequered flag for the second year in a row in a first victory for a hybrid car.

The No 1 diesel-hybrid R18  led for most of the race and denied Denmark's Tom Kristensen a ninth win in the No 2 Audi.

Germany's Mike Rockenfeller wrapped up the 1-2-3 when he crossed the line in third place in a non-hybrid car.

On two wheels - Jorge Lorenzo on a Yamaha cruised to a comfortable win over defending world champion Casey Stoner on a Honda in the British MotoGP at Silverstone.

Lorenzo extended his lead at the top of the championship standings to 25 points over Stoner on the strength of this his 42nd career success.
