Trophy

MotoGP - Sachsenring: Marquez goes onto his penultimate lap with a lead of 1.6s, and he's confident over to be getting sideways under braking everywhere again.

DTM - Moscow Racway: It's lap 38, and all the stops have shaken out. Martin still leads, while Farfus has emerged as the best of the runners to switch to the option, and is in 11th, 24s behind Martin. That's a lot to do in 10 laps...
MotoGP - Sachsenring: A bit of a charge back from Pedrosa, he reduces Marquez's lead from 2.0s to 1.1s in short order. Five laps to go...

Green flag

Bradl's plunge continues - he's way back in 12th now and under pressure from Aoyama and Abraham.
Good stuff still from Redding, who is ninth.

Crash
MotoGP - Sachsenring: Laverty has crashed. He's our first retirement as Smith managed to pick himself out of the gravel and rejoin at the back.

"Incredible show. Incredible race. @MotoGP"
"Incredible show. Incredible race. @MotoGP"
MotoGP - Sachsenring: Lorenzo swiftly passes Bradl, he's into third.
DTM - Moscow Raceway: It's quite difficult to work out if this really is bad news from Rockenfeller. Yes, Martin got a free stop, but he's also had his lead over Rocky cut from more than 30 seconds to two seconds. When it shakes out, Rocky will still probably be close enough to have a lash later in the race. And one more SC and it's advantage to the reigning champ.
MotoGP - Sachsenring: Lorenzo pinches fourth for Rossi and sets off to chase Bradl.
Lorenzo may have started slowly, but he's clearly in much better mental shape than he was at Assen.

MotoGP - Sachsenring: Pedrosa takes Bradl for second now, can he keep up with Marquez?
Rossi is past Aoyama for fifth, next target is Petrucci in fourth. Lorenzo now takes Aoyama too.
