Marquez's pace has tailed right off and he's over three seconds behind Rossi now.
DTM - Nurburgring: In saying all of that, Rockenfeller is now just 2.1s behind Wittmann – which is almost DRS territory. There's still three laps to go. This could get interesting.
Tomczyk, meanwhile, is past Green ... as is Wickens, who is also now on softs.

MotoGP - Brno: Iannone is back in front of Dovizioso for fifth.
DTM - Nurburgring: Just a handful of laps left, and while Rockenfeller is making small gains on Wittmann, it doesn't look like it will be enough.
There is, however, a decent battle going on for eighth. Tomczyk is right on Green's tale, the BMW on softer tyres than the Audi.

MotoGP - Brno: Marquez is falling away in fourth. He's now two seconds behind third-placed Rossi, and 5.6s away from the lead from four laps remaining.
It would now need a miracle for Marquez to stretch his winning streak to 11 races.

MotoGP - Brno: If Marquez's winning run is going to end, he definitely doesn't want to fall right off the podium. He's fighting very hard to get back around Rossi now.
With nine laps left, the battling pair are 4s behind leader Pedrosa and 2.2s off Lorenzo in second.

MotoGP - Brno: Marquez fends off a Rossi passing attempt into Turn 1, then runs a bit wide and nearly lets the Yamaha through anyway.
MotoGP - Brno: Rossi is really coming back at Marquez for third. Our runaway championship leader is having to focus harder on what's happening behind, not in front.

He was three tenths quicker than Lorenzo in second and six tenths up on third-placed Marquez, so he leads them by 1.5s and 2.9s respectively.
Rossi was quicker than Marquez that time too, he's keeping the pressure on for third.

DTM - Nurburgring: Lap 35 of 49 and things have settled down here. Wittmann is a cool 4.1s clear of Rockenfeller at the front, while Tomczyk is still back in ninth, and still needs a safety car if he's to do any real damage on those softer tyres.
MotoGP - Brno: With 13 laps to go, Pedrosa is taking control. He's 1.2s ahead of Lorenzo and 2.1s up on Marquez, with Rossi another nine tenths back.
There's no sign of a Marquez charge yet... but we're not quite halfway through.

MotoGP - Brno: Crutchlow was catching Parkes for 20th, but he's just pitted to retire.
DTM - Nurburgring: The stops have all shaken out now, so the fast-starting leaders are all on harder tyres, and Martin Tomczyk is leading the soft-tyre race. He's 10th, 54s behind leader Wittmann, on lap 30 of 49.
Without a safety car, tough. With a safety car, he could finish second (because a BMW is unlikely to take a win off Wittmann).

British F3 - Thruxton: Well, disappointingly they all started on the same tyre choice - slicks. It was another win for Martin Cao from Matt Rao and Peter Li. Report coming soon.

MotoGP - Brno: Lorenzo's lead could be shortlived, Pedrosa has already closed it down to four tenths and the rest of the top-six pack are following him.

Not much has changed at the front, though. Wittmann still leads from Rocky, Mortara and di Resta.
