MotoGP - Silverstone: Once again it's Lorenzo fending off a Honda swarm. Just 0.6s to cover the top three now - while Bautista and Bradl make it four Hondas in the top five, despite Rossi's best efforts.
MotoGP - Silverstone: Great stuff from Rossi and Bradl, who launch a series of attacks and counters. Bradl is ahead, for now at least, after a brave move on the outside at Farm.
MotoGP - Silverstone: Lorenzo still leads, but this is breathless at the front. There's still just 0.5s between the Yamaha man, Marquez and Pedrosa. There's also a beautiful clash of styles - the Hondas able to hold a tighter line in, the Yamaha hitting a later apex and carrying more speed through the curves.
Rossi has finally picked off Bradl, but is 1.6s down on Bautista.

MotoGP - Silverstone: Marquez sneaks a look at the inside of Lorenzo. It was around this time of the race that he made his move at Brno. It's also around this time that his painkillers will be starting to wear off...
ERC - Zlin: Five minutes until the final stage of the rally begins. Kopecky currently has a 58.4s lead over Pech, who has an even greater advantage of 1m35.2s over Tarabus.
All things staying the same, it looks like we are about to see an all-Czech podium, which will give the home crowd something to celebrate.

MotoGP - Silverstone: As close as you like into Stowe. Marquez is almost down the inside, but Lorenzo sticks it out, cuts across his bows and keeps the lead - just. We're talking inches between these bikes now.
MotoGP - Silverstone: Remember Pedrosa saying he left it too late at Brno? He has a look of his own at Marquez heading into Brooklands, but the younger Spaniard is once again supreme on the brakes and fends off the attack.
MotoGP - Silverstone: You have to marvel at Lorenzo. He is somehow keeping the Hondas behind despite them being visibly faster on the straights, visibly better under braking and visibly better out the corners.
MotoGP - Silverstone: Does Lorenzo have something saved? He's just upping the pace now, and Pedrosa slips back a touch. Marquez stays with Lorenzo. Of course.
MotoGP - Silverstone: Smith fending off the attention of two works Ducatis now.
Lorenzo is squeezing a few fractions of a second on every corner now, and his gap has grown. Has Pedrosa used too much to close onto the leaders?
To highlights the pace at the front, Bautista in fourth is now nine seconds down; Crutchlow in seventh a full 20.

MotoGP - Silverstone: Rossi starting to hunt Bautista, gaining half a second on the last lap alone.
Out front the pace situation takes a sudden swing - Lorenzo is slowest, Pedrosa quickest, and the gaps shrink once more.

ERC - Zlin: And once again Valousek is the first to complete the stage, setting a time of 5m16.7s. He's currently 7.3s behind Jaroslav Orsak in the fight for seventh place.
MotoGP - Silverstone: Three laps to go now. Rossi, matching the frontrunners pace now, is all over Bautista. Dovizioso has picked off Smith. And still there is absolutely nothing to choose between the leaders.
MotoGP - Silverstone: Here we go! Marquez is through at Brooklands.
Lorenzo is forced to sit up through the corner. Two laps to go now.

ERC - Zlin: Orsak has finished Zlutava for the second time - 6.8s slower than Valousek.The difference between seventh and eighth overall decided by just 0.5s!
MotoGP - Silverstone: Lorenzo is back through at Vale. What a battle.
MotoGP - Silverstone: Onto the last lap, and the crowd are on their feet. Incredible, quite simply. Where on earth is your money now?
Trophy
MotoGP - Silverstone: Wow. Just wow. Lorenzo does it, but what a finish we have. Marquez dives down the inside at Brooklands, but Lorenzo forces his way back inside at Luffield and wins the drag to the line. An absolute classic.
ERC - Zlin: Third-place Tarabus has come through in a time of 5m16.7s and seems rather happy.
"It was perfect," he says. "We are very, very happy. We enjoyed it. Perfect!"
"It was perfect," he says. "We are very, very happy. We enjoyed it. Perfect!"
ERC - Zlin: Pech sets the fifth fastest time in the privateer Mini to retain second overall while everyone awaits the arrival of Kopecky.
Trophy
ERC - Zlin: And Kopecky wins his home event for a third time to further extend his lead in the championship!
"We are very happy," he said at the finish line. "Yesterday we did not have any problems. Today was about just surviving, it would be stupid to make a mistake."

European RX - Loheac: The first semi-final is underway. Andreas Bakkerud leads and Sebastien Loeb is second, but the WRC legend is last to take his joker lap...
...Loeb rejoins fourth, that's one place too low to get into the final.

European RX - Loheac: Bakkerud has a huge 3s lead on the final lap, then it's Tanner Foust leading Timur Timerzyanov and Sebastien Loeb over the line.
A close fourth place for Loeb, but that's not enough to get him into the final as Bakkerud, Foust and Timerzyanov make the cut.

European RX - Loheac: Title contender Timmy Hansen is also out, parked trackside with smoke pouring from his car.
It's been a tough day for Hansen, who lost ground in the final heat in a clash with Liam Doran, for which the British driver was penalised. They then had a set-to about the whole thing on the way back to the paddock... which earned Hansen a penalty too.

European RX - Loheac: Jeanney takes his joker halfway through, can Solberg pull clear before it's time for his diversion?

European RX - Loheac: That worked for Petter Solberg, he emerges ahead of Jeanney and Gaetan Serazin to win the second semi.
So will Solberg finally get his first win in the series on Loeb's home turf and on a day when the man who beat him to nine WRC titles couldn't reach the final?

European RX - Loheac: But now Solberg needs a push into the paddock... hopefully he just stalled while celebrating and hasn't hit trouble now.
Moto3 - Silverstone: The 35 riders embark on their warm-up lap as track temperatures have dipped to 17 degrees Celsius after the MotoGP event.
Lights out

Moto3 - Silverstone: Vinales reclaims his place at the front going into Brooklands for the first time, with Salom second and Marquez up into third.

Euro RX - Loheac: Solberg bursts past Bakkerud into the lead, while Foust and Timerzyanov are bouncing off each other repeatedly in the dust.
Euro RX - Loheac: Bakkerud thrusts down the inside of Solberg at the hairpin on lap two but runs too wide and Solberg slips back ahead. They've broken away from the rest of the pack by two seconds.
Euro RX - Loheac: As Solberg gets a little too slideways, Bakkerud gets better traction and edges in front. But he's not leaving Solberg behind, and now the WRC champion of nine years ago takes the joker.
