Trophy
MotoGP - Le Mans: It's an extremely happy podium trio, with Marquez still loving winning and Rossi still enjoying his resurgence, but the most buoyant man up there is Bautista - that result is a real career boost for him.
Mercedes F1 driver Nico Rosberg is presenting the trophies, incidentally.
Romain Grosjean is here too, incidentally, but Rosberg's Mercedes team and this race have a mutual sponsor in energy drink firm Monster, so Rosberg gets the podium nod.

Checkered flag
DTM – Oschersleben: Incredible. Mercedes and Vietoris pull a rabbit out of their hat, going from dead last after lap one, to a huge win. Trick was taking the wets on during the start of the race, essentially turning the race into a one-stopper. Very clever.
Mike Rockenfeller was second, Edoardo Mortara third.

MotoGP - Le Mans: It's a muted sixth for Lorenzo, Bradl fell back to seventh, and Dovizioso beats Aleix Espargaro and Smith to eighth.

MotoGP - Le Mans: Marquez chills through the final corners and claims his fifth straight win by 1.4s over Rossi.
Bautista stays ahead of Pol Espargaro and Pedrosa for third.

DTM – Oschersleben: Vietoris and Rockenfeller bickering over the lead, here. Both pitted earlier than the rest, but in the window. Can bring it home from here. This could be an incredible win for Mercedes.
MotoGP - Le Mans: Final spurt from Espargaro trying to get his podium back with what could be his personal best lap, but Bautista looks far enough ahead.
MotoGP - Le Mans: Marquez begins his final lap, 3.4s clear of Rossi, whose second place is safe. Indeed there's a bit of a Bautista-Espargaro-Pedrosa queue developing for third.
MotoGP - Le Mans: Pedrosa has got away from Lorenzo once again and might have a late punt at challenging Pol Espargaro for fourth.
MotoGP - Le Mans: Rossi is doing enough to keep Bautista at arm's length at present, with the gap stabilising at 1.5s and three laps left.
DTM - Oschersleben: Green has pitted and gone for options. Looks dry enough. Also looks as if we have a timed race, now – 7m50s left.
MotoGP - Le Mans: Rossi isn't certain of second place, as Bautista now has the gap down to 1.5s with six laps left.
Marquez's lead is up to 3.5s.
Marquez's lead is up to 3.5s.
DTM – Oschersleben: Four laps after the restart, more than a four second lead for Green. The guy is flying in the wet today. Very impressive.
MotoGP - Le Mans: Lorenzo hasn't let Pedrosa get away and is all over the back of the Honda again. The chances of Lorenzo getting much higher than fifth in this race still seem remote, though.
MotoGP - Le Mans: Marquez's lead is up to 2.1s, while Rossi has a similar margin over Bautista.
Lorenzo's afternoon gets worse as Pedrosa passes him for fifth place.

MotoGP - Le Mans: Bautista passes Espargaro for third.
Bautista needs this performance - he started 2014 with three straight crashes (not team boss Fausto Gresini's favourite style) before redeeming himself with sixth at Jerez.
His last podium finish was at Motegi in October 2012.

MotoGP - Le Mans: As Marquez begins to stretch away, Lorenzo breaks into the top five at last with a pass on Bradl.
MotoGP - Le Mans: We're just getting some replays of the early incidents, and it was Iannone who pushed Hayden wide on lap one and sent the Aspar Honda crashing out...
...but then karma struck and Iannone had a fall of his own not long afterwards.

MotoGP - Le Mans: The lead changes hands, and it was pretty easy for Marquez as Rossi outbraked himself and ran very wide.
That means Marquez made it back from to 10th to first in just 13 laps. He can now enjoy himself for the next 15.

Andrea Iannone and Hector Barbera have also retired.

DTM - Oschersleben: Jamie Green leads at Oschersleben! He's through on Tambay and sprinting away.
Away from the front, Paffett, Vietoris and Rockenfeller have all pitted – now that the pit window is open. Everyone else will need to pit again as their first stops were outside the window.
And there was a disastrous moment for Mucke Motorsport at the start of L20; Juncadella spun at Turn 1, skipped through the sand trap, and promptly crashed into Petrov!
