MotoGP's British Grand Prix

Summary
Status: Stopped
Lorenzo remains a solitary eighth.
Crutchlow has a bit of a scare coming out of Brooklands, that's going to let Marquez close in a bit. The Marquez/Rossi dogfight has settled down now.
Lowes is now up to 13th on his debut ahead of Miller.
Four laps left, Vinales leads Crutchlow by 4.8s and Marquez/Rossi/Pedrosa/Dovizioso by 5.8s.
 
Rossi and Marquez are passing and repassing each other at pretty much every corner now!
The big Rossi/Marquez battle is doing Crutchlow a favour, he's now 0.7s clear of them in second.
A replay shows Marquez getting a bit too close to Rossi into the corner and having to dive onto the runoff.
 
Looking at the start again, that was some run from Vinales out of Copse to get past Crutchlow and Rossi, and to then take the lead into Maggotts.
Pitlane will reopen at 3:48pm, in four minutes. And we will have the quick restart procedure, rather than a full re-grid.
 
Footage is shown of Baz waving as he is put into an ambulance on the back of a stretcher. Good to see.
 
The race will be restarted, to be run over 19 laps. Original grid. Obviously more details to come on Baz and Espargaro, and the timing of the restarted race.
The rest of the pack is forming up again in the pitlane for an eventual restart.
Replays show Espargaro and Baz making contact on the approach to Becketts, with both bikes then tumbling through the air on the grass.
 
Pol Espargaro is being taken away from the scene on a stretcher, but is conscious. Medics are attending to Baz in the runoff area.
But the race is being red-flagged for the incident at Becketts, that looks like it involved Loris Baz and Pol Espargaro.
Laverty slices inside Rossi into Vale to take second!
Eugene Laverty makes it up to third ahead of Crutchlow.
