Former world champion Valentino Rossi won the MotoGP at the Dutch Grand Prix after a 15 lap battle with overall leader Casey Stoner on Saturday.
Rossi took the lead three laps before the end after moving up from 11th place to win in 42 minutes 37.149 seconds ahead of Australian Stoner and Honda's American rider Nicky Hayden.
Australia's Chris Vermeulen, who started from pole position for the third time in his career, came 16th after a crash with France's Randy de Puniet with 15 laps to go.
None of the MotoGP races this year have been won from pole.
