MotoGP - Assen: Lorenzo is clearly absolutely shattered after his superhuman ride to fifth. He slumps over the bike in the pitlane and is assisted into the garage.
GP2 - Silverstone: A wild start to the feature race, as poleman Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr clash, and Sam Bird shoots through to grab the lead! Amazing stuff.
MotoGP - Assen: Rossi has either found his fan club or everyone at Assen brought a yellow #46 flag just in case.
He stops on the circuit and is carried on the shoulders of his supporters.
It's been a long two and a half years...

MotoGP - Assen: Valentino Rossi wins at Assen!
MotoGP - Assen: Near miss! Crutchlow almost hits Marquez into Turn 1 after the Spaniard appears to be struggling, yet the Brit incredibly holds on. He drops a long way back, though remains third.
STCC - Gothenburg: The difference the right tyres make! Bjork takes just two laps to reel in Goransson and take the lead. Looks like it's game over now.
MotoGP - Assen: Meanwhile Rossi's lead is nearly three seconds. Two laps to go - this will be The Doctor's first win since Malaysia 2010.
MotoGP - Assen: Crutchlow is now hounding Marquez for all his worth for second.
STCC - Gothenburg: The flying Bjork is up to second. He's just under 11s down on Goransson but way, way faster. 15 laps to go...
STCC - Gothenburg: We're halfway through the 40 lapper. Goransson leads by 11.8s over Ohlsson. Bjork and Dahlgren are almost 20s back in 5th and 7th but 1.5s a lap faster.
MotoGP - Assen: He sure does! Crutchlow passes Pedrosa into the final chicane.
MotoGP - Assen: Rossi is actually increasing his advantage since Marquez moved into second place. Crutchlow is right behind Pedrosa again - the poleman wants a podium at least.
MotoGP - Assen: Marquez is through, and now Pedrosa has Crutchlow in close proximity - before a slight mistake through De Strubben drops the Brit back.
ERC - Ypres: Breen's charge towards second is proving tough. Bouffier is slightly quicker on the short SS13 and the gap goes up to 25.9s.
Loix remains chilled in the lead.
Loix remains chilled in the lead.
STCC - Gothenburg: The guys who started on slicks, namely the Volvos of Bjork and Dahlgren are coming into the race. They were 2.5s quicker than Goransson last lap!
MotoGP - Assen: Incredible racing from the two Hondas through the second half of the lap. Marquez launches it up the inside of Pedrosa and takes the place, but then loses it shortly after. That pair are now equidistant between the factory Yamaha of Rossi, who still leads, and Crutchlow's satellite bike in fourth.
STCC - Gothenburg: In case you were wondering, Andersson runs 13th in the Dacia and has just been lapped. Goransson is now 4.2s ahead of the battling Ohlsson and Larsson.
MotoGP - Assen: And, of course, that now changes. Crutchlow passes Lorenzo just before braking for the final chicane.
MotoGP - Assen: We've reached the halfway stage and the race's big talking points centre around the two Yamahas - Rossi continues to lead, and Lorenzo, incredibly, is hanging on to fourth.
ERC - Ypres: Craig Breen completes SS12 and is fastest so far as his pursuit of second place continues. Asked if he's aiming for Loix (fairly impossible given the time gap), Breen replies "not this year..."
STCC - Gothenburg: Goransson is stretching his lead, but will it last? The track is bone dry in places now, but with deep puddles in others.
MotoGP - Assen: The front three are very close now, Marquez having hauled right back up to the lead duo. Lorenzo has dropped back further into the clutches of Crutchlow.
Green flag
STCC - Gothenburg: Goransson made a solid start to lead from pole. The top five have a huge gap over the rest of the field.
MotoGP - Assen: Also very, very worthy of an early-race mention is Aleix Espargaro - the lead CRT man is ahead of the Ducatis.
STCC - Gothenburg: The cars are forming up on the grid. It's going to be a tricky call with the tyres. It's still damp but drying fast in places.
MotoGP - Assen: There's a long way to go in this one but Lorenzo is closing in - pretty quickly - on the two Hondas. How is he doing this? A mighty effort so far.
MotoGP - Assen: Valentino Rossi leads and the crowd goes crazy. The Italian passes Pedrosa into the final chicane with a brilliant move.
MotoGP - Assen: Crutchlow runs slightly wide under pressure at Turns 10 and 11, and Lorenzo is through in fourth. Not long after that, Rossi takes second from Marquez. The Yamahas are on the move.
MotoGP - Assen: Rossi looking rather animated in third place behind the two Hondas, while Lorenzo is hanging onto the coat-tails of fourth-placed Crutchlow.
MotoGP - Assen: Did you expect anything less from Lorenzo? He's up to fifth!

Overall results: 1 Loix; 2 Bouffier +1m37.9s; 3 Breen 2m02.9s; 4 Paddon 2m33.6s; 5 Lefevere +5m01.6s

Lights out
MotoGP - Assen: As you'd expect, Pedrosa starts like lightning to lead from Marquez. Bradl and Rossi push Crutchlow down to fifth - a good start for the Brit not matched in the second phase.
MotoGP - Assen: Here we go then, the riders line up, and we're ready to go...
ERC - Ypres: Loix comes through and matches Breen's time, so his rally lead is a still-healthy 1m37s.
ERC - Ypres: Bouffier comes through and deposes Breen at the top of the times - 3.7s quicker. That means his advantage in the battle for second place is up to 25s - a fight which will rumble on for the remainder of the rally, no accidents permitting.
