Cal Crutchlow secured his second MotoGP win at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday.

LCR Honda rider Crutchlow, who secured victory at the Czech Republic Grand Prix in August, is the first Briton since Barry Sheene in 1979 to win more than one race in a season.

Crutchlow was able to fend off Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) - who started the race in 15th position on the grid - and Maverick Vinales (Team Suzuki Ecstar) to win by over four seconds at Phillip Island.

Spanish world champion Marc Marquez crashed on lap 10 but retains the overall lead in the championship standings with a 57-point advantage over Rossi.

Coventry-born Crutchlow has moved up one place to sixth in the championship standings ahead of the penultimate race of the season in Malaysia next weekend.
