Stoner hampered by tyre issues

Casey Stoner said he was happy to have simply picked up a podium finish on a sodden Le Mans circuit after struggling badly with tyre issues. The reigning MotoGP world champion admitted Honda had struggled to get on top of the conditions, afflicted by issues switching the tyres on at the start and with heavy degradation at the end. "That was a tough race, not the best day for us," Stoner said after finishing third behind Jorge Lorenzo's Yamaha and Valentino Rossi's Ducati.
