Spaniard Pedrosa made a better start than the Ducati rider and forced his Repsol Honda into the lead at the first corner. He could not hang on though, losing his advantage before the end of the lap and remaining second for the rest of the race.
"It would have been an amazing day for a win," Pedrosa told the BBC. "But Stoner was a little bit faster every lap - one tenth per lap faster every time. Today he was better than me.
"But I'm happy to keep improving. We were on top all weekend, even in wet conditions, so it's not so bad for the end of the season."
Despite his defeat, Pedrosa said that he was happy to have ended his season competitively after a mid-season blip that saw him score just one point in three races and drop out of the championship fight.
"It's good to be back at the top," he added. "Because in the middle of the season I had some bad feelings, and now to be constantly at the top is a good thing for us."
