Casey Stoner celebrates race win, 2011 championship title and birthday at Phillip Island

Casey Stoner celebrated his 26th birthday, the his fifth consecutive victory at Phillip Island, his ninth of the season and the 2011 World Championship title, all at his home circuit in what turned out to be an eventful race.
The Australian only needed to finish sixth after title rival Jorge Lorenzo was unable to start following the finger injury he sustained in his warm-up crash, but the Repsol Honda rider dominated from the start of the race as he was able to cruise to victory with no one even close to contest him.
This is Stoner’s second world title after his 2007 one with Ducati and he took the 2011 title with 9 victories, 15 podiums and 11 pole positions as he also handed Honda the 2011 manufacturers title, their first since the 800cc era.
The race was pretty eventful even considering Stoner’s domination, as Marco Simoncelli took the second place on the podium after battling it out with rival Andrea Dovizioso in the final laps of the race, making it an all Honda podium.
