DTM - Zandvoort: Rockenfeller pits from the lead. Prime tyres go on and he exits behind Farfus and ahead of Wittmann.
DTM - Zandvoort: Wow. Farfus does a 1m34.9s lap on his first lap in clear air on the worn options. That's 0.9s quicker than he managed behind Farfus.
Wittmann is faster still though by 0.4s, but is behind Farfus. The smart money is on Rockenfeller exiting the pits in the lead.

DTM - Zandvoort: Farfus pits from the lead on lap 13. He fits prime rubber and exits a couple of seconds ahead of Wittmann.
This is Rockenfeller's time to push, but he was 1.5s slower than Wittmann on the previous lap.

MotoGP - Aragon: Jorge Lorenzo is sat ont he asphalt on the grid, his legs a long way apart a little like a playing toddler, and absolutely surrounded by photographers. That's how the champion rolls.
DTM - Zandvoort: Rockenfeller is now right on Farfus's tail on lap 11. He seems to have nearly 0.5s of residual speed on the BMW. Wittmann - seventh currently - is only 27.7s behind
DTM - Zandvoort: Wittmann is continuing to close on the leaders. In four laps the gap has gone down from 32.1s to 29.7s. Is the BMW strategy working?
DTM - Zandvoort: Farfus's early-race pace has been electrifying on options, but he's paying for it now. Two successive laps slower than Rockenfeller and the Audi man is only 1.3s behind.
Has the Brazilian ruined his tyres already?

MotoGP - Aragon: The bikes are on the grid at a sunny but breezy Aragon.
Marc Marquez took another pole yesterday, here's how they line up:
1 Marquez; 2 Lorenzo; 3 Pedrosa; 4 Rossi; 5 Bradl; 6 Bautista; 7 Crutchlow; 8 Smith; 9 Dovizioso; 10 Espargaro.

DTM - Zandvoort: Possibly a cunning strategy from BMW there. Wittmann is in clean air and is on the option rubbers four laps fresher than Rockenfeller's.
Already he's the fastest man on the track. BMW will try to jump Rockenfeller with Wittmann and then hold him up. No DRS, remember, so it could be doable.

Next lap and in come Tambay, Vietoris and Priaulx

DTM - Zandvoort: Race control announces a decision of 'no further action' against Rockenfeller over that possible jumped start.
That'll be a relief to the Audi man, although he is already 3.2s behind leader Farfus.

DTM - Zandvoort: Albuquerque, on option tyres, tries to pass Wittmann round the outside at the Audi S, but is firmly rebuffed and Hand is able to nose by the Portuguese for fourth into the Luyendyk corner that follows.
DTM - Zandvoort: Order after 1/44 laps: 1 Farfus; 2 Rockenfeller; 3 Wittmann; 4 Albuquerque; 5 Hand; 6 Scheider; 7 Glock; 8 Mortara; 9 Tambay; 10 Molina.

BTCC - Silverstone: In just a couple of corners, Shedden jumps up to 11th.

BTCC - Silverstone: Morgan has passed Smith for seventh, as Jackson passes Wrathall for ninth, bringing Newsham past him too.

BTCC - Silverstone: Neal is attacking Turkington for third, an amazing performance. Both the Hondas and them BMWs are among the slowest in the speed traps.
Neal makes another amazing pass, this time on Turkington, at Becketts. He's now third.

Quote

Green flag
BTCC - Silverstone: They're racing again. The MGs lead, Plato ahead of Tordoff.
BTCC - Silverstone: A frantic start to round 25 then. Replays show the two MGs formed a wall in front of Turkington at the start, but then they touched at Copse, sending Tordoff into a slide which allowed Turkington to get a run on him for second.
Since then, Tordoff has repassed Turkington, but it was marginal with yellow flags.

Quote
Superstars - Imola: Gianni Morbidelli feels that the race starting under safety car cost him any chance of winning.
"It was difficult. I don't understand why we had three laps behind the safety car at the start. It was clearly going to be a wet race, so we wasted seven minutes for nothing. There was no reason for it."
