Jorge LorenzoJorge Lorenzo posted the fastest time of this weekend's final MotoGP free practice session at Assen.

The Spaniard lapped over a second faster than Randy de Puniet's quickest time in yesterday's session and finished the hour-long practice four tenths of a second clear at the top of the timesheet.

Casey Stoner had set the pace throughout the vast majority of the session, but the Australian was the only front running rider not to make a significant improvement to his time in the final two minutes.

Lorenzo's last-gasp effort was a full second quicker than his previous best time. Stoner still finished the hour second on his Ducati, with Honda's Andrea Dovizioso third.

Dovizioso spent most of the session as one of only five riders, along with Stoner, Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards, to break into the 1m37s before the flurry of quick laps at the end.

Rossi's Yamaha finished up fourth, just ahead of Edwards' Tech 3 Yamaha. Edwards jumped up to second place with 10 minutes remaining, but was another to be pushed down in the last minute.

Dani Pedrosa was sixth quickest on the second factory Honda, with Nicky Hayden and James Toseland completing the top eight as the only other riders in the 1m37s.

First practice pace-setter Randy de Puniet was 12th fastest, while MotoGP debutant Gabor Talmacsi brought up the rear in 19th.
