( CNN ) -- Dani Pedrosa took his first Moto GP win of the season after teammate Casey Stoner crashed on the final lap at the German MotoGP . Defending world champion Stoner was battling with his Repsol Honda colleague Pedrosa at the Sachsenring before sliding off his bike prior to the final few corners . The Australian 's error handed Jorge Lorenzo second place and means he now leads the world championship standings by 16 points from Pedrosa . Stoner slipped to third and was distraught to have thrown away a winning position . He told the BBC : `` I 'm pretty disappointed , I had planned to go for my 'win or bin ' effort in the last corner not that one ! `` I felt confident but as soon as I tried to turn in a little more , the front went . I was already off the brakes and not in the hard braking area , as soon as I eased of the brakes I guess the weight came off the front and down I went . `` I 'm frustrated I was n't allowed to get up and try and score some points , the bike was perfect , but the marshals pushed me away . `` If we can continue this momentum for the rest of the season then we should n't be so worried for the championship . '' It was Pedrosa 's third consecutive German MotoGP victory and he was quickest off the blocks , beating Stoner , who started on pole , to the first corner from third spot . Stoner did reclaim the lead by the end of the opening lap and as the race went on , the pair pulled away from Lorenzo who was a full eight seconds back . But Stoner lost his front wheel going into to one of the final turns and ended up unhurt on the gravel , ensuring a smooth last few corners for Pedrosa . After the race the Spaniard told reporters : `` At the start I was n't comfortable because of changes to my bike . As I became used to all the changes I passed Casey , and was feeling good . `` Towards the end I had to fight for the win , on the last lap I was racing at my maximum . '' The next race on the MotoGP calendar takes place in Italy on July 15 . MotoGP standings : . 1 . Jorge Lorenzo ( Spa ) Yamaha 160 points . 2 . Dani Pedrosa ( Spa ) Honda 146 points . 3 . Casey Stoner ( Aus ) Honda 140 points . 4 . Andrea Dovizioso ( Ita ) Yamaha 92 points . 5 . Cal Crutchlow ( GBR ) Yamaha 85 points .
