DTM
Big move by Wehrlein on Farfus around the outside of the last chicane. He takes what will be seventh.
MotoGP
Lorenzo already leads by 2.2s after two laps. When he does that, he doesn't often get beaten.
MotoGP
Marquez's exit is good news for Rossi, though. Pedrosa has just taken second from Iannone, with Rossi right behind them in fourth and surely now on course for a podium.
MotoGP
Marquez was trying to carry massive speed through the downhill Turn 12 right-hander and was closing on Lorenzo for the lead, but had a high-speed low-side and disappeared into the gravel. Another race over for the champion.
DTM
Just Rockenfeller yet to pit as we approach the halfway mark. Behind him, Molina is three seconds clear of di Resta. Spengler and Blomqvist identical gaps behind as well in what will become third and fourth.
MotoGP
A furious Marquez is trying frantically to get his Honda going again but it's not going to happen.
MotoGP
Marquez crashes out of second place!
MotoGP
Order: 1 Lorenzo, 2 Marquez, 3 Iannone, 4 Pedrosa, 5 Rossi, 6 P Espargaro, 7 Dovizioso, 8 A Espargaro, 9 Smith, 10 Crutchlow
DTM
Wehrlein's discussion with the pitcrew continues. Reminiscent of some of Hamilton's F1 chats with engineers when he's wanted to query strategy calls or delays.
FR3.5
Vaxiviere's charge has stalled behind Orudzhev. He's running tucked up behind the Arden racer but cannot pass.
FR3.5
The current top 10: 1 Orudzhev, 2 Vaxiviere, 3 Ellinas, 4 Stoneman, 5 Dillmann, 6 Panis, 7 Latifi, 8 Rowland, 9 Malja, 10 de Vries

Rossi is past the Espargaro brothers, he's into fifth behind Pedrosa.
DTM
Wehrlein reports a right-rear vibration, as Tambay and Green pit.
MotoGP
Lorenzo is trying to make one of his traditional early breaks with an absolutely searing first lap.
MotoGP
Marquez swiftly takes second back from Iannone, while Rossi is still back in sixth.
MotoGP
Marquez loses out off the line - Lorenzo into first place around the outside and Iannone take second from the champion.
DTM
Wehrlein is still, though, ahead of Ekstrom and Mortara. He's 13th on the road, the Audis are 15th and 17th. Rockenfeller, Tambay, Green, Muller and Vietoris are yet to pit, although Vietoris does so now.
FR3.5
Vaxiviere cutting into Orudzhev's lead. He's within a second of the Arden racer now.
DTM
Molina stops, no dramas for the Audi driver. He emerges ahead of di Resta. Wehrlein's stop was hampered by a delay on the right front, the youngster is not happy about the delay.
MotoGP
The field sets off on the formation lap. Can Lorenzo beat Marquez off the line again?
DTM
Slower stop for Wehrlein, he's been passed by Gotz and Farfus in the lane.
FR3.5
Vaxiviere has shown strong pace here, but even if he can clear Orudzhev, Rowland is running strongly in eighth, enough to claim the title.
DTM
Ekstrom lost a spot to Glock in the lane, slightly slower stop from the Audi crew.
Wehrlein, Gotz, Farfus, Tomczyk, Mortara, Auer and Wittmann pit the next time around.

FR3.5
No, Vaxiviere rejoins in second, Orudzhev leads this race.
FR3.5
Into the pits comes Vaxiviere. Can he clear Orudzhev?
FR3.5
Poleman Ellinas under serious pressure now in fourth, he's got Stoneman all over his gearbox.
DTM
Paffet's out with an engine problem, following his dramas this morning.
We have the first of the pitstops, nearly 20 minutes in - di Resta, Spengler, Blomqvist, Juncadella, Ekstrom, Glock, Martin and da Costa make their stops.

FR3.5
Vaxiviere flying out in front. He's 24s clear of Orudzhev in third, the first of those cars who have already stopped.
MotoGP
A few snippets further back - Nicky Hayden is riding with a damaged thumb after a recent mini-moto crash, but he's qualified a reasonable 16th on the Aspar Honda.
And Toni Elias is back again, replacing Claudio Corti on the second Forward entry. But going forward is certainly required: he starts last.

DTM
Wehrlein gets Farfus at the final corner. Mercedes stablemates Juncadella and Gotz capitalise to get past Farfus down the front straight. It was three-wide momentarily, but all clean enough. Ekstrom is ninth, right behind Farfus now too.
FR3.5
It's Stockinger who pits from second. He files out in 12th.
FR3.5
Lotus mechanics out in the pitlane. Is this for Vaxiviere or Stockinger?
DTM
Wehrlein is stuck behind Farfus. Genuine pace advantage for the Mercedes driver, who looks around the outside at turn 1 to no avail. Spengler is now past Blomqvist for third as well.
MotoGP
Mixed weekend for Ducati... OK, rephrase that... pretty poor weekend for Ducati enlivened by the fact that Andrea Iannone seems to go quicker when he has a dislocated shoulder.
The Italian's shoulder - damaged in a Mugello test crash a few months ago - popped out again when he stumbled while jogging recently. He didn't even reach the ground, it was just the arm-flailing attempt to save himself from the fall that caused the problem.
But it doesn't seem to matter too much - immediately after his last shoulder injury he took his maiden pole at Mugello, and he's third today. Team-mate Andrea Dovizioso couldn't even get out of Q1 and starts 13th.

Vaxiviere lapping quickly out in front. He needs to win this race with Rowland outside of the points.
FR3.5
Rowland is down in 10th. As it stands he will be champion at the chequered flag.
DTM
Di Resta dives down the inside to take second from Blomqvist. Strong, clean move. Molina is now 2.7s up the road.
FR3.5
Orudzhev and Panis both head to the pits, that promotes Vaxiviere into the lead.
