Round 6 and 125cc - Silverstone

:00:56. > :01:02.The British Grand Prix starts and away it goes. In this sensational

:01:02. > :01:08.race, what a ride! It's going to be up periscope for

:01:08. > :01:13.Valentino Rossi. Barry Sheen, is gaining, gaining,

:01:13. > :01:17.gaining. From fourth, to third, from third to second - it is the

:01:18. > :01:25.Yamaha. The chequered flag is out. The

:01:25. > :01:31.crowd is cheering him home. I can hear them!

:01:31. > :01:38.Silverstone - it's about the fans. ALL CHEER

:01:38. > :01:46.And history. It's the greatest of all time

:01:46. > :01:56.against the new generation. And now, it's one of the best Moto

:01:56. > :02:06.sport facilities in the world. What is it about MotoGP you love?

:02:06. > :02:09.

:02:09. > :02:19.The thrill of the chase. Danger involved. It's an adrenaline buzz.

:02:19. > :02:20.

:02:20. > :02:25.Hey! CHEERING

:02:25. > :02:35.The British people create a great atmosphere, around the Grand Prix,

:02:35. > :02:36.

:02:36. > :02:45.around the rider. The track, for me, it's fantastic!

:02:45. > :02:49.It's a little bit like in Italy, so it's great.

:02:49. > :02:56.It's very special because the people are very close to their

:02:56. > :03:03.riders. It's a pleasure to be here. Absolutely, couldn't agree more!

:03:03. > :03:08.What a great pleasure to be here in Silverstone. The crowd are out in

:03:08. > :03:15.force. The British summer time has dealt us a bad hand today. The rain

:03:15. > :03:23.looks set to stay for the rest of the afternoon. Unfortunately Cal

:03:23. > :03:29.Crutchlow has had a crash yesterday. He lost the rather. Came down hard

:03:29. > :03:36.on his shoulder. Goes to clutch his collar bone. That is broken. He is

:03:36. > :03:41.suffering from concushion. He is out of the race. -- concussion. He

:03:42. > :03:47.is out of the race. There you can see his dad, his manager. Everybody

:03:47. > :03:53.is sick in this garage. Just a word from you. Like all of us here at

:03:53. > :03:57.the track you must be sick today? We have a bad feeling, all of us.

:03:57. > :04:01.We know these things can happen. It has happened to a rider. It is a

:04:02. > :04:07.sad thing sometimes. You need to know how it works. Any way, we are

:04:07. > :04:13.not worried for the future. We know that Cal is a strong character. We

:04:13. > :04:22.hope he gets well soon. He will be back. We will show what he is able

:04:22. > :04:27.to do. A message from the team on h bikes. This one here, "We wish you

:04:28. > :04:32.were here." That goes from all of us. If you are watching from

:04:33. > :04:37.hospital, hopefully see you in Holland in a couple of weeks' time.

:04:37. > :04:44.A brand new pit facility here at Silverstone. Fantastic it is too.

:04:44. > :04:49.We have a nice English lawn. It is wet today. The seedlings have

:04:49. > :04:56.barely sprung. I am not talking about you guys. You look like you

:04:56. > :05:02.are waiting at a bus stop. All of us sick to the back teeth for Cal.

:05:02. > :05:06.You have to feel sorry for Cal. He was going so well. It shocked us,

:05:06. > :05:16.the great gay we were going to cheer on is no longer in this race.

:05:16. > :05:17.

:05:17. > :05:23.He will think, "did I push too hard?" He flicks over to the left-

:05:23. > :05:27.hand side. He is tapping over the power. It fires straigts on to his

:05:27. > :05:35.shoulder and head -- straight on to his shoulder and head. The word

:05:35. > :05:41.back is, he's in Oxford hospital, he may have chipped a verter brai

:05:41. > :05:46.as well. If so he will be shipped up to Manchester and he'll be back

:05:46. > :05:50.again soon. A few lessons from across the garage. A week ago in

:05:50. > :05:54.Barcelona his team-mate, Colin Edwards broke his collar bone in

:05:54. > :06:00.practice. He was in hospital. These are live shots of Colin getting

:06:00. > :06:04.ready to go out. One week later he's back. He has 13 screws in that

:06:04. > :06:08.collar bone. They are not the only thing in his body made of steel, as

:06:08. > :06:12.we caught up with him earlier this morning.

:06:12. > :06:17.You have been the iron man coming back and racing this weekend. How

:06:17. > :06:23.has it been? I know you've been in a lot of pain. My ribs are killing

:06:23. > :06:28.me. I thought they would get better. They have got worse. The rain set

:06:28. > :06:34.out. We don't have it yet. We may have to make a change in

:06:34. > :06:39.Lincolnshire. We don't have enough weight on the rear. What about Cal

:06:39. > :06:44.- that's two collar bone injuries for your team? It is like a virus

:06:44. > :06:48.around here the last couple of races. I feel sorry for him. It

:06:49. > :06:54.looked like he was on for a good weekend. So, we're injured and more

:06:54. > :06:59.injured at the moment. We have to keep going. If he can take a lesson

:06:59. > :07:05.in coming back quick from anyone it would be you? I am just a man's man.

:07:05. > :07:12.He is a man's man, so is Cal. I am sure he'll be back in a couple of

:07:12. > :07:21.weeks. He talks about Cal and his set-up. He is a tough lad.

:07:21. > :07:28.tougher, he would rust. He has been great for Cal. He is taitain anyum,

:07:28. > :07:38.so he won't rust -- tatanium, so he won't rust!

:07:38. > :07:44.These are not the only two with broken collar bones. Pedrosa - we

:07:44. > :07:49.have talked about that non-stop since then. The injury itself, the

:07:49. > :07:55.broken collar bone was a month ago. It is strange he is not back.

:07:55. > :08:01.has he gone? Steve said before he is frail, but nevertheless he has

:08:01. > :08:06.gone AWOL. There are rumours in the Spanish press that he's had another

:08:06. > :08:10.accident in a training incident and perhaps further injury there. Any

:08:10. > :08:14.potential there? I think something must have happened. Seriously now

:08:14. > :08:19.it has been a month. Once you put in a plate, the bones are strong.

:08:19. > :08:25.It is just a flesh wound. Colin has shown what you can do. If you don't

:08:25. > :08:30.come back within three weeks you are catching your skirt in the

:08:30. > :08:35.chain. We have seen guys back from broken legs in six weeks. The thing

:08:35. > :08:45.for Danny is now this is the third race he has missed N the

:08:45. > :08:57.

:08:57. > :09:01.championship he is dropping off the This is developing into a two-horse

:09:01. > :09:08.race? You would have to say for Jorge Lorenzo, if you pardon the

:09:08. > :09:15.pun, the tide is coming in. Casey Stoner is closing him in. Both of

:09:15. > :09:20.those on the pace. How will this weather change tonights today?

:09:20. > :09:25.might help Jorge Lorenzo today. He is done on -- down on speed. We

:09:25. > :09:28.have 12 to go. Anyone can break a leg. We know how dangerous motor

:09:28. > :09:33.racing is. We have seen championships won and lost with

:09:33. > :09:38.injury. You have to get a lot of points. There is a lot on the table.

:09:38. > :09:43.A few went down, including the doctor himself? Every accident

:09:43. > :09:49.we've had in the wet here has been on the veal. This is the other

:09:49. > :09:54.camera -- on the Vale. This is the other camera. The good thing about

:09:54. > :09:59.falling off in the wet is, generally it is softer. You slide

:09:59. > :10:04.easier and are less likely to get injured. Relatively speaking.

:10:04. > :10:11.People are losing it in the dry. It is steeper down hill. It can catch

:10:11. > :10:15.you out. We will let you get in and stay dry. Don't get too wet.

:10:15. > :10:20.chance of that. Valentino Rossi of course not just here in the wet at

:10:20. > :10:24.Silverstone, but this season, the adaptation to the Ducati has not

:10:24. > :10:32.gone that smoothly. You don't get the level of success and popularity

:10:32. > :10:37.over the years that he has without being a little bit special.

:10:37. > :10:42.THE COMMENTATOR: Valentino Rossi takes the World Championship.

:10:42. > :10:52.Greatest of all time. Valentino Rossi!

:10:52. > :11:01.

:11:01. > :11:07.Well, nine world titles, 105 wins. Have we seen the best of Valentino

:11:07. > :11:15.Rossi now? Is there more to come? don't know. I hope there is more to

:11:15. > :11:21.come. I mean, this is quite difficult. At

:11:21. > :11:28.the beginning I had a lot of problems with the injuries and the

:11:28. > :11:34.problem with the shoulder makes us a lot in delay, compared to the

:11:34. > :11:41.other guys. Now I feel good, but I have some problem with this bike.

:11:41. > :11:45.We need to improve, we need to fix, with have some area where we are

:11:45. > :11:50.struggling too much. The other factor is especially on the maker,

:11:50. > :11:57.a huge step. Are you confident you can be fighting for wins soon? You

:11:57. > :12:02.are getting closer. So, I'm quite confident to arrive

:12:02. > :12:09.closer in a short time, because they work and they have something

:12:09. > :12:14.new. But, for winning this year, I think

:12:14. > :12:18.is very difficult. East sp specially Stoner did a --

:12:18. > :12:24.especially Stoner, did a great job. They have to try to beat this

:12:24. > :12:30.couple and they think it will be very hard. Has there been any

:12:30. > :12:36.moments that you thought, this is a bad decision? I know it's difficult,

:12:36. > :12:46.you know. The worst moment was at the beginning, after the test in

:12:46. > :12:46.

:12:46. > :12:50.Valencia because the bike was very difficult to ride. More than what I

:12:50. > :12:56.expected. The atmosphere is great. It is very good to work with these

:12:56. > :13:02.guys. We are very quiet and focused on the target, so I think we are on

:13:02. > :13:07.the way. I am sure you have lots of competitive years ahead, but we see

:13:07. > :13:12.shoe shoe in Formula One or MotoGP now, they continue to race when

:13:12. > :13:20.they are not competitive - is that what you would want to do, or would

:13:20. > :13:26.you want to finish on the top? don't know. About Schumacher, a

:13:26. > :13:30.mistake for him in the stop. He had a lot of power to continue.

:13:30. > :13:38.When you stop two or three seasons after, it's very difficult to come

:13:38. > :13:44.back at the top. I don't know about me. I hope to race a lot and after

:13:44. > :13:50.I want to try also, this is my idea now, I don't know if the reality,

:13:50. > :13:54.to try something with a superbike. I have a great passion for rally

:13:55. > :13:59.and for cars. When you become old and a little bit more fat, the car

:13:59. > :14:06.is more comfortable. You have the seat belts, the cage around. Maybe

:14:06. > :14:14.this is the future. I cannot imagine you being fat, ever! The

:14:14. > :14:19.fan nattism around you is as high as ever. We saw T-shirts sold for

:14:19. > :14:24.�1,000. Ladies with tattoos on their arm. People with children

:14:24. > :14:29.called "Rossi." Does this seem strange to you? More than straidge.

:14:30. > :14:35.It is a great -- strange. It is a great pleasure. Sometimes it is a

:14:35. > :14:41.surprise, because you come here to England and you see all these, I

:14:41. > :14:46.see all this love around me. It is something great. I expect more in

:14:46. > :14:51.Italy. It is great. You are here for this weekend, I suppose from

:14:51. > :14:56.what you have said today the best chance of a win is maybe rain on

:14:56. > :15:04.Sunday. It looks like, usually we are more competitive in the wet

:15:04. > :15:09.because the bike is not so bad, but today we are quite slow in the wet.

:15:09. > :15:15.The setting is not fantastic. We hope to improve the setting. If it

:15:15. > :15:22.rains on Sunday, maybe we are a little bit faster. Our target is

:15:22. > :15:32.try to be faster also in the dry. Fantastic! Thanks. Thanks a lot and

:15:32. > :15:33.

:15:33. > :15:38.Just bumped into a five-time World Champion and somebody who knows

:15:38. > :15:44.Valentino Rossi very well. He wants to continue for a few years come up

:15:44. > :15:49.what keeps him so motivated at this stage? I do not know, to be honest.

:15:49. > :15:54.When things are going good, you enjoy it. It has been a challenge

:15:54. > :16:00.so far this season, but I guess he hopes there will be light at the

:16:00. > :16:03.end of the tunnel. And in the end, he will come good. I am sure they

:16:03. > :16:10.are working hard but it is harder in the paddock to develop bikes,

:16:10. > :16:15.there is not as much testing. But I am sure they will get their!

:16:16. > :16:20.anyone can do it, it is your old crew, still knocking about. They

:16:20. > :16:25.have been very long time but they are enthusiastic. But they are only

:16:25. > :16:30.as good as the people supporting them, Ducati and the engineers. But

:16:30. > :16:35.as long as everybody is wanting to develop, there is no reason Ducati

:16:35. > :16:40.cannot get back to where it was. It has always been good handling wise,

:16:40. > :16:46.it never had a great motor. But the other guys have now caught up so

:16:46. > :16:51.they need to focus on the chassis side. And that is what we are all

:16:51. > :16:58.seeing now. Life in the old dog yet? He is not that old, but he has

:16:58. > :17:03.just been around for a while. Remained you! There had -- there is

:17:03. > :17:09.no live in this one! Were what do you make of the new paddock? New

:17:09. > :17:14.people coming through? His good, Marco Simoncelli will add flavour.

:17:14. > :17:20.-- it is good. He is quick and rattling cages, he use his elbows

:17:20. > :17:24.more than brains at the moment. But I am sure that will change. And

:17:24. > :17:29.Jorge Lorenzo is a great talent, consistent and fast and on the

:17:29. > :17:35.platform he is happy with it. If you are coming through and there is

:17:35. > :17:40.it what of life in this game yet -- a few are coming through.

:17:40. > :17:45.mentioned Casey Stoner, a fellow Australian, he has fulfilled a

:17:45. > :17:52.dream of following in your footsteps in Honda colours, is that

:17:52. > :17:58.good to see? He it has been a dry run for those guys. 2006 for the

:17:58. > :18:03.last Championship. The bike has not changed much this year. Casey

:18:03. > :18:08.Stoner has just picked up. Andrea Dovizioso cannot believe that now

:18:08. > :18:13.they are a second quicker than last year, and was talking to him. It is

:18:13. > :18:18.good to see it is pushing up the other riders are long and I am sure

:18:18. > :18:23.Casey Stoner is back -- is relieved to be back on something more

:18:23. > :18:28.consistent than the Ducati. And now Valentino is finding out it is a

:18:28. > :18:34.difficult thing to control. Enjoy the race, great to see you. Thank

:18:34. > :18:39.you, enjoys. Jorge Lorenzo was the man to beat here last year, he

:18:39. > :18:47.dominated from start to finish, so who better to give us a tour of the

:18:47. > :18:57.track? Everyone can hear me? We are in the first corner of the track.

:18:57. > :18:58.

:18:58. > :19:08.This is the first chance to overtake. In very fast corner. --

:19:08. > :19:12.

:19:12. > :19:18.it is a very fast corner. The front wheel touches the ground, front

:19:18. > :19:25.wheel. And then we come to a very difficult part of the track, it has

:19:26. > :19:32.a lot of bounce. But you need to break a little before without any

:19:32. > :19:42.pounds -- bounce. This is the funniest corner of the track

:19:42. > :19:50.

:19:50. > :20:00.This is very difficult to pass. Loris Capirossi tried to pass but

:20:00. > :20:07.he crashed last year. And here, for me, is the most difficult part of

:20:07. > :20:17.the track. There is a big bumpier. So if you are leaving a lot, it is

:20:17. > :20:18.

:20:18. > :20:28.very easy to make a mistake. -- for leaning over. You go at a very high

:20:28. > :20:30.

:20:30. > :20:37.speed, but try not to leave too We arrived at a last corner of the

:20:37. > :20:43.track. -- we are arriving at the last corner. We are rushing down to

:20:43. > :20:47.the grid, at a familiar walk and Susie, happy memories of this?

:20:47. > :20:52.really running up with this fantastic weather for the British

:20:52. > :20:58.Grand Prix. But a great crowd, a fantastic atmosphere. And joy

:20:58. > :21:05.yourself today, great to see you back. -- enjoy. Let's find out who

:21:05. > :21:10.is on the pole position. Crutchlow was not the only rider to

:21:10. > :21:15.get up close and personal at Silverstone. Karel Abraham was down

:21:15. > :21:22.a Bailey but put in the performance of the day to put his Ducati on the

:21:22. > :21:27.second at row of the grid, what a first! Toni Elias did not have a

:21:27. > :21:36.good day, he qualified second last. Jorge Lorenzo's knowledge of the

:21:36. > :21:42.track showed. Marco Simoncelli then set a new lap record, breaking a

:21:42. > :21:47.Renzo's record of last year. Then Australia got in on the act -- then

:21:47. > :21:51.Casey Stoner got in on the action. Marco Simoncelli responded

:21:51. > :21:58.immediately. But Casey Stoner raised the bar with a spectacular

:21:58. > :22:08.time of 2 minutes and 2.02. So he start on pole ahead of Marco

:22:08. > :22:13.

:22:13. > :22:21.Colin Edwards, even with an injured collarbone, ate his middle of the

:22:21. > :22:28.table. And way back in 13th place, get ready, Valentino Rossi on the

:22:28. > :22:33.just in front of Toni Elias and Loris Capirossi. This is the second

:22:33. > :22:39.row of the grid, the rain is coming down and the wind. Ben Spies is

:22:39. > :22:45.here, trying to keep warm is not easy. Is not so nice but we will go

:22:45. > :22:50.out and put on a show for everybody. Hopefully stay out of trouble the

:22:50. > :22:57.first couple of laps, it will be quite tricky but I hope it will be

:22:57. > :23:02.fun. Everybody will stay safe and we will put on a show. Good luck.

:23:02. > :23:06.He was on the podium here last year after a great fight with his

:23:06. > :23:13.country man Nicky Hayden on the Ducati. Let's move along because

:23:13. > :23:17.the story of the second row and of the grid is this guy, Karel Abraham,

:23:17. > :23:23.qualifying 6th bustard. He surpassed all expectations this

:23:23. > :23:26.season, but especially yesterday. Last night, he's said he would feel

:23:26. > :23:33.more nervous because you are more near the front than usual, how are

:23:33. > :23:38.you feeling? You more nervous than usual! Van passed it performance,

:23:38. > :23:45.you must feel fantastic -- a fantastic performance. Now is D-Day,

:23:45. > :23:52.and not nice conditions but we have to do our best. The fastest Ducati

:23:52. > :23:59.and ahead of the factory riders. Are on the third row of the grid

:23:59. > :24:03.where Nicky Hayden has qualified 7th, his best with Ducati this year,

:24:03. > :24:08.you have shown what you can do in the rain, how do you feel about

:24:08. > :24:18.conditions today? He it is nasty, wet and windy, but you deal with it

:24:18. > :24:20.

:24:20. > :24:29.and go for it. I am looking forward to it. You have had a good week.

:24:29. > :24:34.Does that bode well? Like us hope so. Good luck. We are getting water

:24:34. > :24:38.in the system, sorry. I just spoke to Iwan Thomas, I think you have

:24:38. > :24:44.got caught out by the conditions but perhaps glad you are not on a

:24:44. > :24:48.bike. I am scared even try it on a bike. But it is amazing, the noise

:24:48. > :24:54.of the bikes. And when Valentino Rossi turned up, the crowd went

:24:54. > :25:00.crazy, brilliant. You ride a bike, so you appreciate the skills.

:25:00. > :25:06.trying to slow down, I have a Harley-Davidson. I am getting old,

:25:06. > :25:11.so I am trying to be sensible. But these guys have great skill.

:25:11. > :25:17.Harley-Davidson can also be dangerous! Another celebrity here,

:25:17. > :25:22.Shane, is this your first time and a MotoGP grid? First time on a

:25:22. > :25:28.MotoGP, a bit of a fan of Valentino Rossi. Lucky 13th, hopefully he can

:25:28. > :25:32.come through. He wanted a wet race and hopefully he can find pace.

:25:32. > :25:42.do some racing, with four wheels, you must have great respect for

:25:42. > :25:44.

:25:44. > :25:50.these guys? Obviously, four wheels is more forgiving than two. I am

:25:50. > :25:55.involved in other racing, and it is a good season at this year.

:25:55. > :26:01.plenty of here supporting Valentino Rossi, but will it be lucky or

:26:01. > :26:08.unlucky 13? These are the guys to beat, last year's winner Jorge

:26:08. > :26:16.Lorenzo in third place. Marco Simoncelli, four front row start.

:26:16. > :26:21.And on pole position, his 150 if start, his first pole in 2011,

:26:21. > :26:26.Casey Stoner were keen to turn domination into a 4th win from six

:26:26. > :26:33.races. - looking to turn domination. Can he do it? Wouldn't you love to

:26:33. > :26:39.be sitting on a motorbike now? happy to be sacked in a warm

:26:39. > :26:43.commentary box. So much can go wrong, spray, wheel spin, there are

:26:43. > :26:48.so many things and elements you do not like in wet conditions. But

:26:49. > :26:52.when you get going, and I have been there, it can be fun. When you are

:26:52. > :26:58.warmed up and can see where you are going, riding in the rain is a lot

:26:58. > :27:03.of fun. You are tiptoeing your way through it, at trying to find the

:27:03. > :27:13.dry areas. A lot of change of surface along this long circuit at

:27:13. > :27:24.

:27:24. > :27:32.water is an issue. People are down there talking, and that changes

:27:32. > :27:41.every think. Casey Stoner on pole, he has been dominating these three

:27:41. > :27:46.races. That was a built-in performance by Karel Abraham, at a

:27:46. > :27:51.very good job. What -- that was a good performance. What are these

:27:51. > :27:57.guys going to do with their tyres with 11 degrees in temperature?

:27:57. > :28:02.That is massive. They will come quite well with that. I looked at

:28:02. > :28:07.Bradley Smith's bike as he got that result and the tyres looked good.

:28:07. > :28:11.Remember when that tyres were burnt out, I do not think we will have

:28:11. > :28:17.that issue today. The guys would rather have these conditions. It is

:28:17. > :28:21.very wet but at least it will be consistent. And you are better with

:28:21. > :28:26.rain coming down because you have that consistency. People that

:28:26. > :28:30.followed MotoGP will know we have flat to flat racing, and if it does

:28:30. > :28:36.strike out, they can change bikes, back to a bike with dry settings.

:28:36. > :28:42.But I think there is little chance of that happening. About six

:28:42. > :28:47.minutes to change a bike from Wed to dry with a spare bike in the pit

:28:47. > :28:55.lane at -- wet. Case is Stonor moving off the line, he is in pole

:28:55. > :29:01.position -- Casey Stoner. This is a warm-up lap. They do have to have

:29:01. > :29:07.backed come up workout what is going on and the standing order.

:29:07. > :29:12.they do have to have that, to work out. The first couple of laps and

:29:13. > :29:17.will be very different -- difficult. There is a lot of spray from the

:29:17. > :29:22.rear of the bike and difficult to see where you are going. A lot of

:29:22. > :29:30.Harley spectators, you have our respect. It is cold and wet and

:29:30. > :29:34.windy. And we have lost our British hope in Cal Crutchlow. A big round

:29:34. > :29:44.of applause for all the fans that have turned out for this. Look at

:29:44. > :29:54.that spray. Even when they are not going flat out. This has got to be,

:29:54. > :29:57.

:29:57. > :30:07.as we look at it, the best chance for Valentino Rossi to salvage

:30:07. > :30:10.

:30:10. > :30:17.something out of a difficult cannot seem to sort it out. Wet

:30:17. > :30:22.conditions. So many out there, we know are fast in these conditions.

:30:22. > :30:27.We know that Valentino Rossi was doing good in the wet. There are

:30:27. > :30:33.all these guys we are looking at. Jorge Lorenzo won in the wet

:30:33. > :30:38.conditions. It is such a shame. It is a shame that Cal Crutchlow is

:30:38. > :30:44.not here. If he's watching this he will be absolutely sick. We do wish

:30:44. > :30:48.him a speedy recovery, back in two weeks' time. He's as tough as

:30:48. > :30:57.goat's meat. He'll be back. This is a wonderful flowing series. There's

:30:57. > :31:07.one more coming up. As we look at Casey Stoner, at the back of the

:31:07. > :31:16.

:31:16. > :31:26.grid, so he can line up last, not first getting wet. Half a mile long

:31:26. > :31:29.

:31:29. > :31:39.that straight. That is tape that has come off the radiator. There is

:31:39. > :31:42.

:31:42. > :31:46.no therm stats. They are 220 horsepower. The last time Valentino

:31:46. > :31:56.Rossi got off that was at the Vale, crashing.

:31:56. > :32:14.

:32:14. > :32:17.How is the horsepower of the bike? A good start from Lorenzo on the

:32:17. > :32:25.left-hand side. Look at that, Lorenzo moving over, giving Stoner

:32:25. > :32:31.the squeeze. Ben Spies, trying to go.

:32:31. > :32:38.Simoncelli, third place, a right dust-up. At the moment, until Casey

:32:38. > :32:48.Stoner tries to put a move on him. You are see how different the track

:32:48. > :32:56.is in places as new tarmac and old tarmac, stones around the outside.

:32:56. > :33:01.Dovizioso is through. He is getting in early. He cannot

:33:01. > :33:07.believe how fast these guys are going. The best thing he can do is

:33:07. > :33:11.get a run at the boss and try and slow him up. That is Jorge Lorenzo

:33:11. > :33:16.t favourite. He has a gap now. The best place to be for visibility and

:33:16. > :33:19.have a nice clear track, the worst place is to come up against the

:33:20. > :33:29.clear conditions. If you are following somebody. Jorge Lorenzo,

:33:30. > :33:33.

:33:33. > :33:37.as they go over the old start and finish, this is out of Woodcote

:33:37. > :33:41.Corner. Stoner in behind. They don't want

:33:41. > :33:46.to sit there for long. It is a double-edged thing, yes you have

:33:46. > :33:49.the guy in front of you. We look at Simoncelli trying to find a way

:33:49. > :33:55.past, making new friends early on the first lap. I thought Jorge

:33:55. > :33:59.Lorenzo had a moment coming out of the Luffield section. He lost time

:33:59. > :34:03.at that second. That is where he lost time. That is always knocking

:34:03. > :34:08.your confidence. If you've had a moment you have to re-group

:34:08. > :34:12.yourself. Dovizioso. Number four over the line. The rider 25 years

:34:12. > :34:21.old. Winner at Donnington. Stoner having a look. Simoncelli

:34:21. > :34:26.having a big look and he's through. If he can keep it nice. There's the

:34:26. > :34:31.moment, mate. There's a punt. Deep water at that point. Foot out for

:34:31. > :34:41.Dovizioso. Has he gone in too hot? He has gone wide. This will

:34:41. > :34:41.

:34:41. > :34:50.compromise, the left hand. Haidhaid haid, bike 69 -- Hayden, bike 69.

:34:50. > :34:56.Valentino Rossi is in 12th place. Dovizioso from Simoncelli, to

:34:56. > :35:00.Lorenzo. Not much longer. Rossi is way back, but Stoner has just

:35:00. > :35:04.mugged his team-mate. Casey Stoner was letting things settle down. I

:35:04. > :35:09.would have thought he was the fastest guy in the warm-up this

:35:09. > :35:13.morning and does revel in these conditions. There's no point in

:35:13. > :35:18.rushing these first few laps. You make sure you know where the

:35:18. > :35:25.puddles are. In theory, I look out of the window booth and it's not

:35:25. > :35:31.raining as hard. The track will get better, with the heat from the

:35:31. > :35:35.tyres. Tucked it on the inside. Nicely done actually. That was the

:35:35. > :35:40.sort of Simoncelli move where he gave the guy enough room. That is

:35:40. > :35:48.the kind of thing. Simoncelli, nice in third place. Those big, long

:35:48. > :35:55.laningy legs will do him a favour. -- lanky legs will do him a favour.

:35:55. > :36:01.They have knee pads on. If you do slam away, you can jam the bike in

:36:01. > :36:05.and get away again. If you are ra Simoncelli you can ride like a --

:36:05. > :36:12.are Simoncelli you can ride like a tripod.

:36:12. > :36:17.Toni Elias started at the back. He's having a bell ter, up behind

:36:17. > :36:24.Colin Edwards. That is good stuff for him.

:36:24. > :36:32.Karel Abraham, in tenth place. He's been prudent and being swamped

:36:32. > :36:38.slightly. Through this wonderful, wonderful section. It is fantastic

:36:38. > :36:43.to watch these changes. You can see the F1 cars having a stab at it in

:36:44. > :36:51.a few weeks. Here is the big gaggle of bikes. Simoncelli is looking

:36:51. > :36:57.like a problem for Dovizioso. Dovizioso wants to keep his

:36:57. > :37:02.countryman at bay. Number 5, he's had a mixed year -- 58, he's had a

:37:02. > :37:07.mixed year. He has shown sides of brilyapbls. He wants to use his

:37:07. > :37:16.brain more than his elbows. There, Dovizioso, if he carries on at this

:37:16. > :37:20.pace he'll be a problem for Casey Stoner. We are talking 2.25, last

:37:20. > :37:25.to Stoner. 2.19. Clearly a lot wetter at this point than it was

:37:25. > :37:31.this morning. As I said, looking out the window, it is raining, but

:37:31. > :37:38.not heavy rain. He had a moment through that wonderful series of

:37:38. > :37:42.corners. Drops a couple of places as a result. Simoncelli, he is just

:37:42. > :37:46.stalking Dovizioso. The problem that everybody has in

:37:46. > :37:51.the field is that Casey Stoner is super fast, but he happens to be

:37:51. > :37:57.very good in the wet. I don't think there is any conditions he's not

:37:57. > :38:01.good in, is there? Not to put your foot down and Simoncelli hit that

:38:01. > :38:05.puddle. Did you see the front washout. I don't think Stoner is

:38:05. > :38:10.good at anger management. Probably not. That is one of the things he's

:38:10. > :38:20.not. We saw him give a few guess tick

:38:20. > :38:25.youlations to Hayden during the practice -- guesticulations to

:38:25. > :38:30.Hayden during the practice weekend. There's water across the track. As

:38:30. > :38:37.I was saying a while ago, it changes lap by lap. Still a way off,

:38:37. > :38:42.as you can see. Just have to tip-tow your way

:38:42. > :38:47.around in these conditions -- tip- toe your way around in these

:38:47. > :38:52.conditions. They revert back to steel disks and normal pad material

:38:52. > :38:58.because the carbon brakes cannot get up to enough temperature in the

:38:58. > :39:03.wet. It's been a long flowing... You tend to have a different map,

:39:03. > :39:08.so it's not as aggressive on the power. Simoncelli on the inside,

:39:08. > :39:12.number 58. We saw him a moment last lap around. He is being more

:39:12. > :39:16.judicious. He didn't lose it that time. Stoner up on the pavement

:39:16. > :39:21.there. That was brave, so was Simoncelli

:39:21. > :39:26.in a big way. Simoncelli has got a slight brain

:39:26. > :39:35.to elbow deficiency at the moment, but nevertheless, as we look at

:39:35. > :39:42.Valentino Rossi putting a move on. He got in there and manage to block

:39:42. > :39:47.him at that time. That will move Rossi up. Simoncelli having a major

:39:47. > :39:51.moment there. Running too deep, trying to get too close to

:39:52. > :39:57.Dovizioso. He's going to join. Watch out. Can you imagine what

:39:57. > :40:04.Lorenzo will say to him later on! He managed to get it stopped. Here

:40:04. > :40:08.it is, it's into abbey corner. How on earth did he hold on to that. On

:40:08. > :40:13.the brakes, all but ran down. That was Abby.

:40:13. > :40:18.Simoncelli, he is a magician, at, yeah, more water please! He'll have

:40:18. > :40:23.to re-group. That was a big, big moment there. Came back on the

:40:23. > :40:27.track. Can you imagine the paperwork if he took out the lead

:40:27. > :40:36.of Lorenzo, who has already warned him. He wants to buy a lottery

:40:36. > :40:45.ticket on the way home. That will savour the day.

:40:45. > :40:50.Gyroo -- gyrocam. That was out of the old Woodcote

:40:50. > :40:55.Corner, but the new Woodcote Corner. This has all been re-surfaced here.

:40:55. > :41:04.It is smoother than it used to be. It is not hugely abrasive, so it

:41:04. > :41:14.holds a level of water. That is true. There's not enough to swal

:41:14. > :41:32.

:41:32. > :41:37.low the water. conditions. The tyres, it is about

:41:37. > :41:42.normal as a normal road tyre. It is amazing how much traction you can

:41:42. > :41:47.get. It is like jet ski racing. That was an issue that Simoncelli

:41:48. > :41:57.had there. He aqua planeed for a moment.

:41:58. > :42:19.

:42:19. > :42:25.Toni Elias, he has been pinged by Bautista, in ninth place he is

:42:25. > :42:31.having a good run. Boy, he could do with some. He could do with some

:42:31. > :42:35.luck, couldn't he. Bautista, all over the back of Hayden. He is

:42:35. > :42:43.paying for that moment across the grass. It is not just the time you

:42:43. > :42:47.lose, it is the confidence you lose. Lorenzo has put in the fastest lap.

:42:47. > :42:52.1.23. We know he is seven points newspaper the championshipment if

:42:52. > :42:57.he could run second he would come away from Silverstone. He would

:42:57. > :43:06.come away in the lead n the championship. He is Mr Consistency,

:43:06. > :43:13.as you said. Steve, that's a real key for him, and also having a

:43:13. > :43:23.horsepower deficit. It masks somewhat the bike in these

:43:23. > :43:28.conditions. We... What is going on? I think he has an issue there. Ben

:43:28. > :43:34.Spies, the factory team-mate of Jorge Lorenzo, Yamaha have just re-

:43:34. > :43:41.signed him for another year. A pair of Texans there. He was saying to

:43:41. > :43:51.Colin, "what are we doing out here?" Shouldn't we be in Texas,

:43:51. > :43:51.

:43:51. > :43:55.sitting in the sun! Knocking 2 minutes 25. Chatting to

:43:55. > :44:01.Colin yesterday, his time was better last year. He has broken

:44:01. > :44:06.collar bone. He said his ribs is soarer than his collar bone. That

:44:06. > :44:10.got pulled out. He doesn't know how he pulled his ribs. He was faster

:44:10. > :44:15.yesterday in the dry than he was last year. I don't know what you

:44:15. > :44:20.read into that. A nasty sponge bath, that is what

:44:20. > :44:27.can do the ribs in. Back across we go. 15 laps left of this. These

:44:27. > :44:32.guys will think to themselves, well, 25% down, got to keep it neat.

:44:32. > :44:37.Simoncelli now fastest lap. That is scary. Mixed messages. Simoncelli

:44:37. > :44:40.now the fastest man. He is trying to make up the time. He's in fourth

:44:40. > :44:45.position after that incident into turn one.

:44:45. > :44:49.There he is. There are the top four. There's not a lot in it, I can tell

:44:49. > :44:54.you. As they went around last time, it is two seconds between the top

:44:54. > :44:59.four at the moment. Simoncelli compared to 1.23 for

:44:59. > :45:03.Stoner. So, this is looking interesting. Took the thick end of

:45:03. > :45:07.a second out of him. Simoncelli is fierce, as we have discussed many

:45:07. > :45:12.times. He will not take many laps to forget that moment and get his

:45:12. > :45:20.head down to have another run at the wall. It is great how you

:45:20. > :45:25.forget pain. He is 250 champion. He has made the transition to MotoGP.

:45:26. > :45:35.This is his second year in it. When he gets his MotoGP win, it will

:45:36. > :45:43.

:45:43. > :45:50.happen soon, on the podium for that the angles and grip. And now Karel

:45:50. > :46:00.Abraham is trying to get past Toni Elias. Good to see Toni Elias

:46:00. > :46:06.having some success. And this is the reigning champion, Lorenzo. And

:46:06. > :46:15.eight seconds down the road of the rest. Be so is for 9th position.

:46:15. > :46:20.Toni Elias and Karel Abraham. And the traction control system is

:46:20. > :46:30.kicking in to stop the wheels skidding too much. It also knows

:46:30. > :46:31.

:46:31. > :46:36.the angles and the Giro system on it. There is a GP a system on its.

:46:36. > :46:44.-- there is another system on it. That was easy. Maybe he has decided

:46:44. > :46:51.to follow is easier. And Karel Abraham is through it. That is all

:46:51. > :46:58.very polite. In my day, somebody would swerve across in front of you.

:46:58. > :47:04.Abraham just get that sorted out. And he will want very much to get a

:47:04. > :47:11.result here and not make the qualifying lap he did look like a

:47:11. > :47:16.flower, he is smart. Name -- Marco Simoncelli did not put in the

:47:16. > :47:21.fastest lap last time so you probably had another scare, but he

:47:21. > :47:26.is now 3.2 seconds back from the leader. Casey Stoner has just set

:47:26. > :47:33.another fast lack. He has been faster than Andrea Dovizioso in

:47:33. > :47:38.second. It is about remembering way you were, breaking earlier.

:47:38. > :47:44.other thing to do, and in car racing also, you experiment all the

:47:44. > :47:51.time -- of the other thing. You look for more grip and the most

:47:51. > :47:56.obvious line does not always have the most grip. Is Nicky Hayden

:47:56. > :48:01.looking for that of the us like? He went to white. Sometimes there is

:48:01. > :48:09.more grip off-line because there is not dirt and oil at the track is

:48:09. > :48:14.not worn out. Lorenzo is getting close to Andrea Dovizioso. The most

:48:14. > :48:24.famous track in Britain for cars and bikes is Brands Hatch where

:48:24. > :48:34.there is a rain line and a try line. -- a dry line. That was the same at

:48:34. > :48:36.

:48:36. > :48:44.Donington Park oarlock -- also. Lorenzo is in a passing position.

:48:44. > :48:50.But a sort it all out. -- but they sort it out. That was so close! He

:48:50. > :48:59.was trying to muscle down the inside. Almost came to take another

:48:59. > :49:05.piece of him. They were lot of concentration. -- a lot of

:49:05. > :49:09.concentration. It is still raining, and not heavily, but there is

:49:09. > :49:16.surface water. That is why Lorenzo is struggling. On the exit, he is

:49:16. > :49:25.good. He is good going in, he is good closing up, but it does look

:49:25. > :49:29.like jet-skis at the back. He needs to sort it soon. He goes round the

:49:29. > :49:39.outside, with Marco Simoncelli behind him, he almost got in close,

:49:39. > :49:41.

:49:41. > :49:49.but not quite. It is really pronounced. Bid Yamaha needs a

:49:49. > :49:54.faster in and the Honda is a monster -- the Yamaha. And look who

:49:54. > :50:00.is there now. Can I come and join you? He has caught them up very

:50:00. > :50:10.quickly this last lap. He was half his second quicker than Lorenzo, I

:50:10. > :50:14.am talking about Marco Simoncelli. Number 58. And Casey Stoner has now

:50:14. > :50:20.got a 2.9 second advantage over this, the fierce fight for second

:50:20. > :50:23.place. 13 laps remaining, still not half the distance. They will be

:50:23. > :50:29.getting cold now. It sounds ridiculous because you are working

:50:29. > :50:35.hard, but cold hands are an issue when it is wet. Bad is why so many

:50:35. > :50:43.of them wear gloves. -- that his wife. Either that or to protect

:50:43. > :50:48.their cuticles! Lorenzo is very neat, it cost him a bit on the exit.

:50:49. > :50:55.Marco Simoncelli is about to say, a room for a small one! Starting to

:50:55. > :51:05.close these guys down. This is the important curve, Chapel curve.

:51:05. > :51:06.

:51:06. > :51:13.Marco Simoncelli has got history. While not getting into trouble, he

:51:13. > :51:16.has got to push hard. And Lorenzo is strong, that is the part of the

:51:16. > :51:22.track that caught Valentino Rossi at this morning. Was no problem in

:51:22. > :51:28.wet conditions, and Jorge Lorenzo seems to have more confidence front

:51:28. > :51:34.and breaking, but if you get on the inside, you compromise... Ben Spies.

:51:34. > :51:38.He was shaking his head like he is not enjoying it. The man who

:51:38. > :51:46.finished third last year... And Jorge Lorenzo is down! The World

:51:46. > :51:55.Champion is down! Both of the Yamahas are down. He is definitely

:51:55. > :52:04.out, it is in bits. And he is out! The exhaust looks like a snorkel!

:52:04. > :52:11.My goodness! Casey Stoner is in the front of this. We are into Abbey,

:52:11. > :52:18.just when he is about to put the power on. That is pretty much the

:52:18. > :52:24.corner before Cal Crutchlow went out. Just lit up. Although the

:52:24. > :52:29.crash of Cal Crutchlow was it a bit to drier, but the same principle.

:52:29. > :52:35.- was a bit drier. That is a very broken Yamaha and a very

:52:35. > :52:43.disappointed Spaniard who has lost the lead in the Championship now.

:52:43. > :52:53.If this marry it -- if this man carries on, Yamaha will be saying

:52:53. > :52:55.

:52:55. > :52:59.Lorenzo is out. He has now just put in the fastest lap. He does not

:52:59. > :53:06.know, at the pit crew need to tell him to slow down and steady things

:53:06. > :53:13.up because he is about to inherit the lead. Casey Stoner is four

:53:13. > :53:19.seconds ahead of these two now. So that is a pretty comfortable lead.

:53:19. > :53:23.And these two will probably slow each other up. Andrea Dovizioso

:53:23. > :53:29.will try to ride defensively as Marco Simoncelli will try to pull

:53:29. > :53:37.the bike up. The Yamaha Team, a rotten day for them. We just saw

:53:37. > :53:44.the wreckage of Ben Spies's bike, and a moment later, spent -- Jorge

:53:44. > :53:49.Lorenzo is down. Fast running out of riders. Just one Yamaha. And in

:53:49. > :53:54.4th position. In credible, one week after breaking his collarbone and

:53:54. > :54:04.pulling his rips apart. Of Simoncelli can stay upright, he

:54:04. > :54:05.

:54:05. > :54:12.will get his first podium in MotoGP. As you say, the 50th year of racing

:54:12. > :54:20.for Yamaha. The bikes are in corporate colours this year. Casey

:54:20. > :54:30.Stoner has nearly five seconds... mentally is through! -- Marco

:54:30. > :54:31.

:54:31. > :54:35.Simoncelli is through! This is going on and on, down the hill.

:54:35. > :54:45.Andrea Dovizioso has got it back again. Marco Simoncelli is pressing

:54:45. > :54:46.

:54:46. > :54:56.hard. He might switch back to the inside. Very optional wines here,

:54:56. > :54:59.

:54:59. > :55:09.it is not a very precise - lines. Casey Stoner has been told. And he

:55:09. > :55:13.

:55:13. > :55:18.will also have had a slowdown time. So he is close on a second slower

:55:18. > :55:28.and he cannot afford to be. Valentino Rossi has just past Karel

:55:28. > :55:32.Abraham into 7th place. And this is some passing it. Just out wide. Be

:55:32. > :55:36.interesting thing is that Valentino Rossi is four seconds slower would

:55:37. > :55:44.ban the guys at the front. And these are the two I am talking

:55:44. > :55:50.about. Surely he is going down the inside? He is not. Andrea Dovizioso

:55:50. > :55:56.is very late on the brakes. Marco Simoncelli had water in front of

:55:56. > :56:00.him but obviously wanted to get the speed. We have seen so many washout

:56:00. > :56:06.here during the warm-up this morning, but they are safely

:56:06. > :56:10.through -- washouts. I can remember being here during the World

:56:10. > :56:20.superbikes when one of rider got off a -- fell off three times.

:56:20. > :56:21.

:56:21. > :56:27.the bike never broke. -- and the bike. He has gone! Andrea Dovizioso

:56:27. > :56:34.is down -- Marco Simoncelli is down! That was the same place he

:56:34. > :56:39.had that big moment. There is not going to be a podium today for

:56:39. > :56:48.Marco Simoncelli. He is like a puppy that has had it is meal taken

:56:48. > :56:53.away from him -- had his meal. is furious with himself. But his

:56:53. > :56:58.fuse is too big. He would need to fit base for -- fit a small fuse

:56:58. > :57:08.because it did not blow. It is looking good for Andrea Dovizioso

:57:08. > :57:11.

:57:11. > :57:17.nowt. And this guy is a potential podiums. Cal Crutchlow, if you are

:57:17. > :57:22.watching this, there is life after collarbone! Look at your team-mate.

:57:22. > :57:27.There is one Yamaha rolling around and the guy on it is now on a

:57:27. > :57:35.potential podium. 10 laps to go but Colin will be thinking it is

:57:35. > :57:41.looking good. Look at that puddle. That is extra water just washed out

:57:41. > :57:46.from under him. It was just at the end of the pavement, he was great -

:57:46. > :57:51.- he was squeezing the brakes a bit too hard. You will just see a

:57:51. > :57:57.splash up, and that was it. A bit too much water with a bit too much

:57:57. > :58:07.breaking. And that was the same corner, although Jorge Lorenzo was

:58:07. > :58:08.

:58:08. > :58:15.a bit further round it. This engine, this could be another motor again.

:58:15. > :58:21.What have I done wrong?! Will he sit on the fence now, do you think,

:58:21. > :58:29.and talk to Jorge Lorenzo? Kiss and make up. I do not think they will

:58:29. > :58:36.kiss and make-up. I think they will swim home. And it is Casey Stoner

:58:36. > :58:43.who now goes over the line. Notice he has a tighter line, he was not

:58:43. > :58:49.going through the water, he was turning a earlier. Would you please

:58:49. > :58:53.wave him down? He is a friend of yours, get out and slow him down!

:58:53. > :59:03.would give a special Australian at smoke signal, but it would be put

:59:03. > :59:05.

:59:05. > :59:11.out by the rain! That puddle! That was where he went down. Back to

:59:11. > :59:16.Colin, he was going for a great result before he got injured.

:59:16. > :59:25.deserves good luck. And you will note that trying to button it off

:59:25. > :59:30.in the rain, we need to talk about that, in some ways, it is easier to

:59:30. > :59:35.keep pressing on because you are at least precise about the last stage

:59:35. > :59:45.you can break, it is more difficult if you try to button off too much.

:59:45. > :59:45.

:59:45. > :59:55.You lose concentration, if you take a different line. Nine laps to go,

:59:55. > :59:58.

:59:58. > :00:03.Valentino Rossi his 6th. It to Leigh is doing two things. He is

:00:03. > :00:13.floating -- Valentino Rossi is doing two things. He is floating to

:00:13. > :00:13.

:00:13. > :00:22.the surface, but he has taken time out of the boys in front. But we

:00:22. > :00:26.talk about Valentino Rossi being a bit slow and not as fast, but he --

:00:26. > :00:31.but it is about management and keeping the bike up and going as

:00:31. > :00:41.fast as you can, time-management and sorting it out. It would be

:00:41. > :01:00.

:01:00. > :01:08.lovely for them to get a decent gingerly back there.

:01:08. > :01:15.Here is Randy de Puniet. He paid quite a price for that

:01:15. > :01:21.crash. You can see just by the body language how everyone is trying to

:01:21. > :01:31.tip-toe around here, looking for the dryish line. It is still

:01:31. > :01:40.

:01:40. > :01:45.raining, but not particularly more heavily at the minute.

:01:45. > :01:54.There was a lot of 250 moments out there. There you are, Stoner again.

:01:54. > :02:00.He has slowed the pace down. He's backed the pace down. His wife is

:02:00. > :02:07.waiting for him to return. In eight laps, in theory, he will return

:02:07. > :02:17.with 25 laps in his pocket, which will put him at the top of the

:02:17. > :02:22.

:02:22. > :02:29.himself any harm if he can bring it in second place. Look at the start

:02:29. > :02:33.here, everyone got away cleanly. It was Jorge Lorenzo who got the

:02:33. > :02:37.Yamaha across there. Number four, Dovizioso, on the inside here now.

:02:37. > :02:43.He goes into third place. Simoncelli has a little go at

:02:43. > :02:48.nudging him out. He doesn't do so. On board with Ben Spies, you notice

:02:48. > :02:53.how he let the revs drop. No big clutch movements there. Let it grip

:02:53. > :02:57.nice and early and powered off the line. Nice to get the rear heel

:02:57. > :03:01.spinning up. Spies won his first podium here

:03:01. > :03:07.last year. OK, there's a different angle again. Valentino Rossi didn't

:03:07. > :03:16.get a belting start there. Look at 24 there, Elias, he made up some

:03:16. > :03:21.ground. He got it back.

:03:21. > :03:25.I don't think it was the plan though. Back across we go. We only

:03:25. > :03:30.have seven laps of this left. He's having a lonely, but effective race

:03:30. > :03:35.at the front, Stoner. This will be a nice win for Casey Stoner. It is

:03:35. > :03:39.his 150th start. He has 26 wins. He will go 27.

:03:40. > :03:46.It is nice and neat and tidy here in the UK. Stoner will feel a

:03:46. > :03:54.little bit of vindication, I guess, that's, if he pulls it off that

:03:54. > :03:58.he's had a win in the rain. There is some talk that Ben Spies might

:03:58. > :04:04.have hurt his back. They are taking him off to the medical centre to

:04:04. > :04:08.check. Let's hope it's a sprain and nothing more. The rain is coming

:04:08. > :04:12.more heavy now. It looks to me like it is raining heavier. The wind is

:04:12. > :04:17.getting up. There are lots of showers and storms you can see from

:04:17. > :04:24.the on-board camera. The dark clouds. It is a miserable day,

:04:24. > :04:34.unfortunately here in Northampton. MotoGP, it has to be worse for us

:04:34. > :05:01.

:05:01. > :05:06.it was the puddle. There it is.

:05:06. > :05:09.Unfortunately there's no ABS on these bikes. It slapped him down on

:05:09. > :05:19.the ground. That looked expensive. That was the

:05:19. > :05:19.

:05:19. > :05:24.reaction we were seeing there. Marco Simoncelli is in front of Cal

:05:24. > :05:28.Crutchlow. Neither getting any points this weekend. But Marco

:05:28. > :05:32.finished the first race and finished the third and fourth race.

:05:32. > :05:37.This will be his third crash of the year.

:05:37. > :05:42.On board with Valentino Rossi. Sixth position. He could pull off

:05:42. > :05:47.the podium. He's actually starting to really make a bit of head-way.

:05:47. > :05:57.He's about to come out on the fastest part of the circuit, if we

:05:57. > :06:18.

:06:18. > :06:28.stay with him. On to Chapel Curve here in the warm-up.

:06:28. > :06:30.

:06:30. > :06:35.The revs drop. He grabs second gear inbetween the Vale and Club Corner.

:06:35. > :06:41.Another lap completed for Valentino Rossi. Six laps to go. His last was

:06:41. > :06:50.a 2.25, the same as Dovizioso. He's broadened his pace up a bit.

:06:50. > :06:54.Valentino Rossi did 2.25. That is a lot faster than Bautista. Bautista

:06:54. > :06:59.is... Not, it is not. He is slower than Bautista. He has locked

:06:59. > :07:05.himself into sixth place. Bautista is a few seconds down the road,

:07:05. > :07:12.isn't he? Hayden in fourth place. Bautista is three seconds behind

:07:12. > :07:18.him, so with six laps to go, it's not impossible for Bautista and not

:07:18. > :07:23.impossible for Hayden, on the Ducati to respond. The last lap

:07:23. > :07:29.around, he was two seconds faster than Edwards and Dovizioso. So

:07:29. > :07:33.Hayden is on the move. He's a long way back, but on the move forward.

:07:33. > :07:37.6.7 seconds behind Edwards. It's not impossible.

:07:37. > :07:46.What a result this would be for Colin Edwards, really! It would be

:07:46. > :07:51.very, very special. From Houston, 37 year old - he's had numerous

:07:51. > :07:56.podiums, of course. Twice World Superbike champion. He was gutted

:07:56. > :08:03.last weekend not being allowed to race. It broke an enormous record

:08:03. > :08:08.run of consistent starts. When he joined in 2003, never missed a ride.

:08:08. > :08:12.Was disapointed they would not let him race. It was not about his

:08:12. > :08:17.physical condition. He was able to do push-ups after having the plate

:08:17. > :08:21.fitted. They felt it was not be the right thing for him to do. He said

:08:21. > :08:26.it is because he had the wrong passport. Don't know what he meant

:08:26. > :08:31.by that! Plenty of support here though. Dovizioso, tip-toeing his

:08:31. > :08:37.way. As we know, he came second here

:08:37. > :08:41.last year. This is what it would do to the points. 18-point leave he

:08:41. > :08:49.would leave the British Grand Prix at. Dovizioso would have a useful

:08:49. > :08:53.margin over Valentino Rossi as well. That was a replay again. Sorry....

:08:53. > :08:58.That we had not seen. We have not seen that particular angle. No, we

:08:58. > :09:05.hadn't. That was a replay looking from the camera in front. That's

:09:05. > :09:15.the onboard. It was... That shows the level of grip. This is the

:09:15. > :09:29.

:09:29. > :09:37.other angle we did see at that time. Jorge Lorenzo and Marco Simoncelli.

:09:37. > :09:43.There is his team-mate behind Capirossi last time out we saw a

:09:43. > :09:48.fantastic scrap that involved Capirossi, also Bautista, also

:09:48. > :09:52.Barbera. There has been some big scrapping in the mid-field in this

:09:52. > :09:56.series around the last couple of rounds in particular. Hayden, last

:09:56. > :10:01.time around he was a second faster than Colin Edwards. Still five laps

:10:01. > :10:06.to go. If he carried on a second a lap we might have a race on for the

:10:06. > :10:16.podium. How annoyed would Edwards be, if someone snuck up on him. The

:10:16. > :10:32.

:10:32. > :10:39.two Americans, of course. mate, the aforemen -- Pramac

:10:39. > :10:44.rider's team-mate. The aforementioned, there he is. There

:10:44. > :10:48.he is. There's Casey Stoner. Actually these guys will be pleased,

:10:48. > :10:54.they'll have a lap less to do. It will only be 19. The only thing

:10:54. > :11:04.Casey Stoner has to watch, imagine if someone gets in his way, you saw

:11:04. > :11:10.

:11:10. > :11:17.how he waved -- Guesticulated in half time. If they fall off now and

:11:17. > :11:21.take me out, it doesn't bare thinking about. I lost a

:11:21. > :11:26.championship tip-toeing around someone else. So case Casey Stoner

:11:26. > :11:30.does have time in hand. He's not being pursued. He has a moment to

:11:31. > :11:35.pick his way past. He has the thick end of 15 seconds over Dovizioso

:11:35. > :11:40.behind him. There is the time gap. Look at that,

:11:41. > :11:46.Steve. 24 for Stoner and Barbera last time around, with two minutes

:11:46. > :11:52.and 30. So, Stoner is really floating to

:11:52. > :11:56.the surface. Barbera sees him, lets him through. Good call. Oh, my

:11:56. > :12:02.goodness. Straight through. Don't tear it, bite the whole piece off.

:12:02. > :12:06.Casey Stoner straight through, not impeded at all. Mr Stoner, Casey's

:12:06. > :12:10.father, watching for his son to take the lead in the World

:12:10. > :12:17.Championship, so long as he can bring it home. Hayden last time

:12:17. > :12:21.around was half a second fast r. -- faster.

:12:21. > :12:27.Look at this - it is poetry in motion.

:12:27. > :12:33.He's a guy at the op of his game, isn't he? That is in very wet

:12:33. > :12:39.conditions. There's no double knee slider on that. He has the bike

:12:39. > :12:43.really stacked over. His best last was 2.21.7. It looks like a

:12:43. > :12:49.pressure washer from behind, doesn't it? It does.

:12:49. > :12:53.It is extraordinary, this man's talents. M and I don't think, I

:12:53. > :12:59.think I realised it, but I think I realise more now, how he has got

:12:59. > :13:04.off the Ducati, having won on the Ducati and still nobody else, you

:13:04. > :13:08.don't get more than an A lister than Valentino Rossi. He has

:13:08. > :13:14.struggled to ride it. Casey Stoner has shown the other Honda riders

:13:14. > :13:20.the way as well. It was frustrating for us all that

:13:20. > :13:24.Pedrosa was out of that competition. He was the most guy most likely on

:13:24. > :13:29.another Honda to give him a run for his money. We know his ribs are out

:13:29. > :13:38.and his shoulders hurt and everything else. He doesn't want to

:13:38. > :13:41.crash. Hayden, told you he was a man on the move. 2.21.38. That is

:13:41. > :13:46.three seconds faster than Casey Stoner. He is comfortable,

:13:46. > :13:50.obviously. He is pressing on. four seconds back. That is the

:13:50. > :13:54.issue. He will see Colin Edwards in front of him. He was further around

:13:54. > :14:01.the corner. There it is. There's the visible

:14:01. > :14:07.gap, as they say, Edwards down that and the straight. Hayden will have

:14:07. > :14:12.the magnets on, I am sure. As you last saw the fastest lap of the

:14:12. > :14:15.race for Hayden. It will drag Hayden on as well. Colin will have

:14:16. > :14:19.that nightmare scenario. The next time he comes around the pit, he'll

:14:19. > :14:23.say it has gone from minus six to minus five, to minus four and you

:14:23. > :14:29.just don't want to push too hard because you are on egg shells here

:14:29. > :14:34.in these conditions. You try and do the maths, how many laps, how much

:14:34. > :14:41.can he afford to be whittled around and be in front of this. Trying to

:14:41. > :14:46.do the maths when you are riding in puddles you cannot normally add two

:14:46. > :14:54.and two. Or I couldn't. I still can't!

:14:54. > :15:04.That wonderful complex I was talking about that, Becketts and

:15:04. > :15:06.

:15:06. > :15:10.Chapel. seconds quicker than Valentino

:15:10. > :15:20.Rossi's lap last time around. That is slightly embarrassing, I have to

:15:20. > :15:24.say. Now I am talking about Hayden haid, the same factory team.

:15:24. > :15:33.Be careful, you are pushing the limits. He will certainly, dropping

:15:33. > :15:37.down the hill to Vale here, he will look at Colin Edwards.

:15:37. > :15:47.Ewan McGregor here today. He is a big bike fan. He has been around

:15:47. > :15:54.

:15:54. > :16:02.the world with Charlie in nicer Last time over the line, and he has

:16:02. > :16:12.responded! And he has kept it at four second with two laps to go.

:16:12. > :16:18.

:16:18. > :16:27.Colin Edwards has to hurry up. Just two-tenths slower than Nicky Hayden.

:16:27. > :16:32.These will be a long couple of laps. Visit Spain, you want to today!

:16:32. > :16:40.cannot see through the rain! It is brightening up as the rain is about

:16:40. > :16:48.to finish. Still plenty of water on the track, as Casey Stoner floats

:16:49. > :16:53.through. Ben Spies has been given be OK, excellent news. A bit of

:16:53. > :17:01.pain in the morning, but nothing more dramatic. And look at those

:17:01. > :17:05.times, that is a fantastic response. A great lap from the old boy.

:17:05. > :17:14.time Colin comes round the pit board, he was see he has stabilised

:17:14. > :17:18.it. He either want to go back to the toilet or he is nervous! Both,

:17:18. > :17:28.it happened at be certain age! Colin Edwards was rocked last time

:17:28. > :17:34.

:17:34. > :17:44.out. -- was dropped. -- robbed. was on a definite podium with a lap

:17:44. > :17:45.

:17:45. > :17:51.to go up. The last time around now, at one more lap. That is the

:17:51. > :17:57.progression, as you can see, between lap 12 and 18. That is when

:17:57. > :18:04.it really stretched out as people white Andrea Dovizioso realised

:18:04. > :18:09.they could not close him down at. - - people like. The last lap for

:18:09. > :18:15.Colin Edwards. The gap is still 4.6 seconds, Colin can take it easy.

:18:15. > :18:22.But you never can, you never think you can. One bored with Casey

:18:22. > :18:32.Stoner on the final lap. -- we got on board with. And this is a

:18:32. > :18:42.Wellington straight. Appropriately named. A Honda making a bit of

:18:42. > :18:45.

:18:45. > :18:51.noise on the overrun. We about giving the game away, will it be a

:18:51. > :18:58.red-letter day, after that used for race we saw for Bradley Smith? --

:18:58. > :19:06.useful race. That is worth watching, I promise you. Casey Stoner is

:19:06. > :19:13.halfway round. This is really, really longed. -- belonged. If the

:19:13. > :19:17.British fans boo him, I will be angry, because he deserves a big

:19:17. > :19:24.cheer riding in these conditions. He will take the Championship lead

:19:24. > :19:29.and he is also the only guide that has had more than one win and he is

:19:29. > :19:39.about to make it 3 -- the only man. So an astonishing performance from

:19:39. > :19:55.

:19:55. > :20:00.him. Won in France... Down the hill to veil now. -- Vale. The boys are

:20:00. > :20:05.up and they are ready for it. And not only can he ride a motorbike,

:20:05. > :20:12.but the Australian can also swim! Casey Stoner wins in a rain-sodden

:20:12. > :20:17.Silverstone! His father is giving him a pause, rightly so. He loves

:20:17. > :20:22.the bike and has enjoyed it. Andrea Dovizioso second last time and

:20:22. > :20:32.another second a year later. A brilliant from him, in great and

:20:32. > :20:36.smart race. -- it was a great and smart race. But Colin Edwards is a

:20:36. > :20:44.legend, and he gets a podium. Hospital one week and the rostrum

:20:44. > :20:54.the next. He will need to be helped up, but great from him. And the

:20:54. > :20:55.

:20:55. > :20:59.British team run at Suzuki, up that just makes theft. -- and that just

:20:59. > :21:04.makes fifth-place. Valentino Rossi did not get a place -- did not get

:21:04. > :21:14.close enough to Alvaro Bautista. He will come across a line in 6th

:21:14. > :21:34.

:21:34. > :21:41.place. But nothing can touch the how it is the taker? -- Colin?

:21:41. > :21:45.not good, it has taken some beating. A brilliant performers, he has been

:21:45. > :21:54.outstanding this season. -- performance. He has done well in

:21:54. > :21:59.everything. A enjoy it the podium. -- enjoy the podium. He made a good

:21:59. > :22:06.point about a long circuit, it is so much more difficult for the few

:22:06. > :22:14.bikes circulating to pump drive the track, so it was a very difficult

:22:14. > :22:21.circular -- circuit. Hector Barbera and Randy de Puniet have just

:22:21. > :22:27.finished. A lap down, that does not happen. Casey Stoner and Andrea

:22:27. > :22:35.Dovizioso, a fantastic result for the team-mates. Dani Pedrosa will

:22:35. > :22:40.want to have been out with them. But Colin Edwards, finishing third,

:22:40. > :22:50.and with pins in his shoulder, that is really something! Life in the

:22:50. > :22:51.

:22:51. > :22:58.old dog yet! However Matt described him earlier. And look at those

:22:58. > :23:08.conditions even on the slowdown lap, absolutely saturated. Casey Stoner

:23:08. > :23:08.

:23:08. > :23:15.has 116 points, that means. So a really, really positive result for

:23:15. > :23:20.Casey Stoner. And a couple of surprise results in terms of Alvaro

:23:20. > :23:29.Bautista in 6th place, at Surrey, 5th place. Karel Abraham in 7th

:23:29. > :23:34.place. A real boost? What do you make of it? Not great when it rains

:23:34. > :23:40.like that? The you can make of it how phenomenally good Casey Stoner

:23:40. > :23:45.is in any conditions. Stick him on a motorcycle and point him in the

:23:46. > :23:49.right direction. And with Jorge Lorenzo crashing out, it is looking

:23:49. > :23:59.ominous. Just a third of the way through the season, but not a good

:23:59. > :24:02.

:24:02. > :24:09.-- to stop it. He has an 18. Leeds now in the Championship, so looking

:24:09. > :24:13.good for him now. We still have a fight on. Boy what about the

:24:13. > :24:20.performance of Colin Edwards? -- what about. This has got tyre

:24:20. > :24:30.warmers on, I love this bike. can look at a few of the crashes.

:24:30. > :24:37.

:24:37. > :24:43.up and down it went. You can see that puddle and it caught him out

:24:43. > :24:49.five or six laps before that. I do not know how he stayed on. Pushing

:24:49. > :24:53.a bit hard to get past Andrea Dovizioso? Absolutely, but that is

:24:53. > :25:00.raised -- that is racing. And the same for Jorge Lorenzo, he had to

:25:00. > :25:07.stay in the pack. He is further around the corner and it goes round

:25:07. > :25:11.and you shut down the throttle... It shows how much grip it has. It

:25:11. > :25:17.grips again, and generally a wet tier will let you go up low side.

:25:17. > :25:24.You can see the disappointment in his face. When you go out, you are

:25:24. > :25:28.really disappointed. Colin Edwards will not believe it. I spoke to him

:25:28. > :25:32.at last night, we had a show for the fans in the centre of the

:25:32. > :25:37.circuit and Colin it was on painkillers. And I think he had a

:25:37. > :25:43.drink! I think he was riding with a hangover today, maybe that is the

:25:43. > :25:48.future! His ribs are hurting at more than his shoulder. And he will

:25:48. > :25:57.be out partying tonight! The next race is in two weeks, so we can

:25:57. > :26:03.relax. If you do not know the result, what it on the red button

:26:03. > :26:09.up later. Bradley Smith finished on the podium, and unlikely for him.

:26:10. > :26:15.In was a great race for Bradley and the team here. -- it was. The guy

:26:15. > :26:20.here builds the chassis, that is nice. He came through from 38th on

:26:20. > :26:26.the grid to finish on the podium, sensational, and we will show you

:26:27. > :26:31.the highlights later. Here, with the time difference, the races have

:26:31. > :26:38.switched round. And with the bad weather at Queen's, it is as bad as

:26:38. > :26:48.it is here, so there is no tennis, it so we will be able to bring you

:26:48. > :26:51.

:26:51. > :26:56.the 125 cc later. Plenty of It was all going on behind Duke

:26:56. > :27:03.again! We did not get a great start but the bike felt good and I waited

:27:03. > :27:08.for the tie is to get up to the right temperature. In the first --

:27:08. > :27:13.for there tyres. I got a lot of water in the visor and could not go

:27:13. > :27:18.fast because I could not see where I was going. I knew roughly where

:27:19. > :27:23.the track was book could not see the puddles and I was nervous. But

:27:23. > :27:30.slowly the water went away and I was able to get the times I wanted

:27:30. > :27:36.and to open up a gap. And from that, we were quite lucky. Lucky to stay

:27:36. > :27:42.up first, and the fact that Jorge Lorenzo had a crash unfortunately.

:27:42. > :27:47.And also Marco Simoncelli went out and other riders. But we had a

:27:47. > :27:51.great race and I am happy. These were tough conditions and to come

:27:51. > :27:58.away winning was really good. leading the Championship now,

:27:58. > :28:06.congratulations. A good day, in general.

:28:06. > :28:13.A good day for him. And a good result after the last race.

:28:13. > :28:18.levels it out for him. This is his 150th grand prix start this weekend.

:28:18. > :28:24.He is the first Honda rider to win at three successive MotoGP races

:28:25. > :28:34.since Valentino Rossi in 2003. That is how significant it is. And that

:28:34. > :28:39.is a fact! He has been reading of my paperwork! He has been reading

:28:39. > :28:44.your notes! It shows how much Honda have been struggling in particular

:28:45. > :28:51.over the past three years. Another man looking to put that right is

:28:51. > :28:58.Casey Stoner's team-mate. Congratulations on the podium, how

:28:58. > :29:03.tough was it? The very difficult. Jorge Lorenzo and Marco Simoncelli

:29:03. > :29:08.crashed so the conditions were very difficult. I am happy because it is

:29:08. > :29:13.easy to make a mistake in this situation, there was a lot of wet

:29:13. > :29:19.and it was difficult. Casey had to take more risks but he is good in

:29:19. > :29:24.these conditions. I am so happy because the level opposition is so

:29:24. > :29:30.high it this year and in the practice, we struggled a lot. But

:29:30. > :29:34.at the important time, we got it. Congratulations.

:29:34. > :29:40.Andrea Dovizioso, the winner of the British Grand Prix in 2009 in

:29:40. > :29:44.similar conditions, and he kept his cool under a lot of pressure.

:29:44. > :29:50.so hard on -- hard in wet conditions because conditions are

:29:50. > :29:55.changing, you tried to talk about what you are doing to yourself. And

:29:55. > :30:05.Donington Park 2009, he stayed upright throughout the race. It is

:30:05. > :30:05.

:30:05. > :30:10.time for away director. -- it is time for our director now... Colin

:30:10. > :30:15.Edwards now. What medication have you been given? You should break

:30:15. > :30:21.the collarbone at more often! medication, it is just by Ibuprofen

:30:21. > :30:27.this week. I felt like a space cadet on the bike when I tried some

:30:27. > :30:31.the first time. But we have had great racing this weekend. I did as

:30:31. > :30:37.few races as I could to qualify, at we changed the bike completely from

:30:37. > :30:47.this morning, different everything. I went out on the race and then key

:30:47. > :30:52.

:30:52. > :30:55.D go and celebration. Congratulations. Not surprisingly,

:30:55. > :31:00.exhausted, Steve. I suppose the conditions really difficult for

:31:00. > :31:04.everybody out there. It makes it easier in the wet conditions.

:31:04. > :31:11.not as strenuous. You are not jumping around so much. It is

:31:11. > :31:17.smoother all the time. We sort of wrote Colin off. Will he get a win?

:31:17. > :31:22.Getting back up on the podium was really good. It makes you wonder

:31:22. > :31:28.what a fully-fit Colin Edwards could have done? That is something

:31:28. > :31:32.special. Things have moved on. He was very polite then, wasn't he?

:31:32. > :31:37.Compared to last night. There were a few people shocked. He was on

:31:37. > :31:47.stage. It was blue, but he has a career in stand-up in the future.

:31:47. > :31:49.

:31:49. > :31:53.Perhaps not politics. Let's look at Perhaps not politics. Let's look at

:31:53. > :32:00.Marco Simoncelli's crash. As he got on that, he was wider. He

:32:00. > :32:05.turned it in. There's nothing, when you lose the front end, that's it,

:32:05. > :32:15.you're history. Cars have ABS. They don't have all these problems.

:32:15. > :32:15.

:32:15. > :32:20.These machines are - he has so much heavy machinery going on. He has

:32:20. > :32:25.great support from the British fans this weekend. He was good enough to

:32:25. > :32:28.chat to us earlier on before the chat to us earlier on before the

:32:28. > :32:33.race had even finished. Another disappointing finish to

:32:33. > :32:40.what started as a great race? it was a great race until the crash.

:32:40. > :32:45.I am so disappointed because every time we are so close to a very, to

:32:45. > :32:54.some very good results and every time something happens that

:32:54. > :33:01.separates us from that result. I am disappointed. I crashed. I did

:33:01. > :33:11.a big risk in the first lap. After that I start to brake softer,

:33:11. > :33:12.

:33:12. > :33:17.little bit before, but I lose the front. It was completely straight.

:33:17. > :33:20.It aquaplaned. I am so disappointed. Bad luck. He is a colourful

:33:20. > :33:29.character. You can see the reception off the British fans he's

:33:29. > :33:34.had this weekend. He's somebody ready to take their mantle from

:33:34. > :33:41.Valentino in the future. I will put money on that Marco Simoncelli will

:33:41. > :33:46.win a MotoGP race before the season ends. A trail not dissimilar to

:33:46. > :33:51.this one. You are right. It is one of the longer tracks we go to. A

:33:51. > :33:55.bit more narrow in places. Let's hope it is brighter and warmer,

:33:55. > :34:00.quite honestly. Despite the conditions, I am sure these three

:34:00. > :34:05.guys are nice and warm and fussy inside. Charlie? He does not look

:34:05. > :34:11.very warm and fussy to me. He must be absolutely freezing, all of them.

:34:11. > :34:15.Shivering, but he will have the warmth of success.

:34:15. > :34:21.Casey Stoner has leapt ahead in the championship, 116 points in front.

:34:21. > :34:26.Also, as we watch the trophies being handed out to Colin Edwards,

:34:26. > :34:31.hates be an while. Colin Edwards is eighth in the championship. He came

:34:31. > :34:41.this weekend 13th. It has been an incredibly useful points haul for

:34:41. > :34:50.

:34:50. > :35:00.Nigel knows his way around Silverstone, just a bit!

:35:00. > :35:03.

:35:03. > :35:08.Second place this year and second Another former President, he makes

:35:08. > :35:13.the trophy presentation to the winner and increasing his World

:35:13. > :35:17.Championship lead. The winner of the British Grand Prix....

:35:17. > :35:21.Congratulations to Casey Stoner, who started to get the momentum to

:35:21. > :35:31.look like he could actually take this championship this year. So far

:35:31. > :35:31.

:35:31. > :36:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds

:36:20. > :36:24.to go though, as we were talking APPLAUSE So, Casey Stoner, as I was

:36:24. > :36:28.saying to you 150 starts in Grand Prix racing. That is fantastic.

:36:28. > :36:32.That first Honda race, three in a row for such a long time. Honda is

:36:32. > :36:39.back, as well as Casey Stoner being back. This is absolutely massively

:36:39. > :36:42.useful points for all three of these boys on the podium.

:36:42. > :36:48.Unbelievably they will start to spray champagne over each other.

:36:48. > :36:53.There is only a slim hope... Oh, the poor AirAsia girls. So smartly

:36:53. > :36:59.dressed as well. More fluid being sprayed around, but a great day for

:37:00. > :37:05.Honda and, what a belting day for the last Yamaha standing.

:37:05. > :37:08.Congratulations to Colin Edwards. I think there will be difficult

:37:08. > :37:12.conditions. We might see him shine again, you two.

:37:12. > :37:19.Absolutely. And what a way to end a very, very

:37:19. > :37:24.difficult week, not just a weekend, for everybody here at the Yamaha

:37:24. > :37:31.team and for Colin who went from a hospital bed to the top of the

:37:31. > :37:35.podium here at Silverstone. We have a weekend off. Next round is the

:37:35. > :37:39.Dutch. It is held on the final Saturday in June. It is a Saturday

:37:39. > :37:42.race, so do remember to put that in your calendar. No race on the

:37:43. > :37:48.Sunday. It is on the Saturday. Qualifying on the red button on

:37:48. > :37:53.Friday afternoon. Then we'll be back here in the usual place on BBC

:37:53. > :37:59.Two for the Dutch TT. For the time being, we are left to wrap up here

:37:59. > :38:05.at a wet and windy Silverstone. Steve, dreadful conditions, as

:38:05. > :38:08.we've said. We saw a great race in the Moto T race and a fantastic

:38:08. > :38:13.result for a British rider. He is getting ready to speak to us in a

:38:13. > :38:17.second. What a race that was. was extraordinary. He had so many

:38:17. > :38:22.problems and came through. It was great to see. So many fans were

:38:22. > :38:25.cheering him on. We were out there willing him on. He got a great

:38:25. > :38:28.result. Let's look at the highlights with Charlie. I will

:38:28. > :38:34.tell you what, the highlights they are indeed. 28th he started on the

:38:34. > :38:39.grid. grid.

:38:39. > :38:45.He just battled his way through. It was action stations, like always.

:38:45. > :38:51.Scot Reading started second fastest. The guy fancied and doing so well

:38:51. > :38:56.in this championship, battling with Scot Reading. He took the lead.

:38:56. > :39:00.Then steffan came back again. Bike number 75 came storming

:39:00. > :39:08.through the field. A countryman of Simoncelli,

:39:08. > :39:12.absolutely fearless. Bradel decided to give best. Markes

:39:12. > :39:22.there, he crashed on the last lap of the warm-up.

:39:22. > :39:29.That is Pacini going down. He cannot believe what he has done.

:39:29. > :39:34.Good shape here, keep circulating. It will work fine. Look at that -

:39:34. > :39:40.doing battle with Scot Reading. Started second. Riders falling all

:39:40. > :39:50.over the place. It was unbelievable, the number of people who crashed

:39:50. > :39:51.

:39:51. > :39:58.across the course on this race. All the time, all the time Bradel

:39:58. > :40:01.was working so hard. At the front, this guy can do no

:40:01. > :40:06.wrong. He's had pole position after pole position. He kept his head

:40:06. > :40:11.where others failed. What can you say about Bradley

:40:11. > :40:16.Smith? He stormed through the field. Eclipsed Reeding in the process. It

:40:17. > :40:22.was an incredible result. He really makes his championship

:40:22. > :40:27.look strong. He didn't get the pole this time out. Bradley Smith, a

:40:27. > :40:34.podium, second. What a belter for him. Second Grand Prix. He was, by

:40:34. > :40:44.a very big margin, the rider of the day.

:40:44. > :40:58.

:40:58. > :41:01.Absolutely - we got a British rider leaderboard, courtesy of that 20-

:41:01. > :41:05.leaderboard, courtesy of that 20- point haul. What a beauty, boys. D

:41:05. > :41:09.He joins us now. What were you doing at the back of the grid in

:41:09. > :41:15.the first place? It was absolute carnage yesterday because we had

:41:15. > :41:19.some sensor problem. You know, we had Honda, we had pretty much

:41:19. > :41:24.everybody from the GB side of the garage trying to figure out what

:41:24. > :41:28.was the problem. Obviously I made a big mistake by coming down the pit

:41:28. > :41:32.lane the wrong way and had to get race direction in the middle of the

:41:32. > :41:37.session. That was expensive, wasn't it? Just a little bit. I think that

:41:37. > :41:42.was the reason what made me so fired up for today. I knew I had to

:41:42. > :41:47.do a good job. It was a bit scary in the rain. Made up a lot of

:41:47. > :41:50.places in the first corner s. Then the spray for the first two or

:41:50. > :41:55.three laps was so scary. You couldn't see anything. I knew I had

:41:55. > :42:01.to commit to get a result. That is what I did. Nice little battle

:42:01. > :42:05.there - what was that like? To be honest I thought it was Luti. I

:42:05. > :42:10.didn't know it was Scot until I was behind him. We are battling for

:42:10. > :42:14.third. Two Brits, don't knock anyone off. I go up the inside and

:42:14. > :42:20.am rubbing against him. I am like, this won't be going down good.

:42:20. > :42:27.Luckily both of us stayed up. I soon found another rhythm after I

:42:27. > :42:30.got Scot back into the 2.25 lap times. It is so nice to do this

:42:30. > :42:35.again at Silverstone. I stood on the podium last year, which was a

:42:35. > :42:40.bit of a disappointment with the result, but it was still nice. This

:42:40. > :42:45.one goes down in my top three. Absolutely. I am sure, like all the

:42:45. > :42:49.Brits here at Silverstone, but for you because you are a tech three in

:42:49. > :42:55.the class. Your team-mates, one is in hospital and we hope to see him

:42:55. > :42:59.back in a few weeks? Without a doubt. I was gutted to see Cal go

:42:59. > :43:02.down. He has been riding so well this season. He was up for it.

:43:02. > :43:07.Obviously disappointing for him to break a collar bone and just hope

:43:07. > :43:11.that he's back as soon as possible. Awesome job by Colin today. You

:43:11. > :43:14.know, I see him yesterday inside the hospitality, he was in a lot of

:43:14. > :43:20.discomfort with the collar bone and stuff. To do what he did today in

:43:20. > :43:24.the rain is a remarkable result. And obviously a great day. I

:43:24. > :43:28.suppose it kind of makes up for our lack of performance in the last few

:43:28. > :43:33.races. I think you made up for that as well in the race today. Thank

:43:33. > :43:38.you. It was just job for these guys stayingen the bikes. We saw in the

:43:38. > :43:43.warm-up, tell us about this crash. It was a monster. Look at this.

:43:43. > :43:47.Coming out of the last corner, in front of the pit lane. His bike

:43:47. > :43:51.stayed upright. You can see the effect. The pit lane and goes

:43:51. > :43:55.straight into the pit wall and destroyed the bike. It is credit to

:43:55. > :43:59.cameras they kept running. The bike came back six inches shorter than

:43:59. > :44:05.it should have been. It was the last of the warm-up or wet-down.

:44:05. > :44:08.They amazingly got it fixed. It was the same bike, got a new chassis.

:44:53. > :44:57.Guys, how is it to be here at your home GP? It is nice to be here and

:44:57. > :45:01.relaxing with the crowd. There's more British rider in the

:45:01. > :45:05.championship. The public are taking a lot more notice of it. Whereas

:45:05. > :45:08.before there was only two or three of us. No-one really knew us

:45:08. > :45:11.because there was not much noise about us because there were only

:45:11. > :45:21.three of us. Now there are five or six of us, you know, a lot more

:45:21. > :45:27.

:45:27. > :45:32.people are taking notice of the Have you soaked up the atmosphere?

:45:32. > :45:42.It took me about half an hour to get to it. It is good knowing

:45:42. > :45:44.

:45:44. > :45:49.everybody is here to cheer you on, It should be good, I have got Matt

:45:50. > :45:57.Roberts here. You had a go at underspent, didn't you? I realise

:45:57. > :46:04.how talented he was, he was on it! It should be good. I have got my

:46:04. > :46:07.family and friends here and all the British press behind us. Before, I

:46:07. > :46:15.have always got nervous before the British Grand Prix, but I will go

:46:15. > :46:22.as fast as I can and give 120%. If I crash, I crash. Just push for the

:46:22. > :46:27.front and see how hard I can push. It is one of my favourite circuits,

:46:27. > :46:33.to be honest, it is fast and flowing and suits our riding style.

:46:33. > :46:43.It is good fun. The whole circuit. A lot of it is flat out so it is

:46:43. > :46:44.

:46:44. > :46:48.really fast and good fun. How are you feeling about this season? You

:46:48. > :46:54.started with a broken hand. started with a broken hand after

:46:54. > :47:01.crashing in testing. It has not gone brilliant. First, I was taken

:47:01. > :47:09.out. In France, I broke down. And in Barcelona, I crashed. 10 me

:47:09. > :47:13.about the crash, you've two taking each other out. -- Tel-Me.

:47:13. > :47:18.first thing you think is, he is down. I watched it back, somebody

:47:18. > :47:23.made a mistake and I ran into somebody and crashed and he crashed

:47:23. > :47:29.into my bike. So both British riders were down. But I am sure we

:47:29. > :47:34.will have a good result and will come back twice as strong. So far

:47:34. > :47:39.this year, I cannot complain. I am top 10 in the Championship. I hope

:47:40. > :47:46.I can do the rest in the year. season for you especially, you are

:47:46. > :47:50.doing your A levels at the moment, aren't you? I had a product design

:47:50. > :47:55.exam on first day of practice. It keeps my feet on the ground going

:47:55. > :48:01.back to school on Monday. I finished two weeks ago and am on

:48:01. > :48:11.study leave, so it is relaxing now. It has been flat out working and

:48:11. > :48:18.riding, but I am looking forward to concentrating on my riding. Some

:48:18. > :48:24.great British talent to look forward to in about 10 minutes in

:48:24. > :48:30.125 cc. Time to contemplate on the MotoGP race. Congratulations, the

:48:30. > :48:39.podium after a tough weekend. in racing, everything is changing

:48:39. > :48:44.so quick -- in racing. Last night, with Bradley having only two lapse

:48:44. > :48:48.and the qualifying because of an engine problem, Cal Crutchlow broke

:48:48. > :48:52.his collarbone, Colin struggling with his broken collar bone from

:48:52. > :49:00.last week, I thought it would be another difficult weekend. And

:49:00. > :49:05.today, thanks to badly and Colin, thanks to the English weather and

:49:05. > :49:10.the team working really hard although it was not easy, we saw an

:49:10. > :49:15.incredible recovery from 28 to second for Bradley. And Colin was

:49:15. > :49:21.as young and fast as ever, coming through the pain without any pain

:49:21. > :49:26.killer. He was under the knife of a surge in, his collarbone was in

:49:26. > :49:31.five pieces. -- under the knife of a doctor. And we are very happy.

:49:31. > :49:37.Only racing can give you this up and down. And at the moment, we are

:49:37. > :49:41.flying. Or what is the latest about Cal Crutchlow? No do not want to

:49:41. > :49:46.think -- want to forget about Cal Crutchlow, we are thinking about

:49:46. > :49:53.him. He will be upset because he was a strong possibility for podium

:49:53. > :49:58.finish. His collarbone is broken, they are checking of the neck.

:49:58. > :50:03.There is nothing really bad but you still have to have a scan up later

:50:03. > :50:12.in the afternoon to be clear. And hopefully he will have an operation

:50:12. > :50:21.tomorrow in Manchester tomorrow and follow Colin on the podium. That is

:50:21. > :50:25.all I can wish! Known pressure! Well done once again. The British

:50:25. > :50:34.we have seen in 125 cc, let's see how the rest put on in qualifying

:50:34. > :50:43.yesterday. -- got on. Qualify ing never disappoints. Always action-

:50:43. > :50:53.packed and always the same guys at or near the front. The man to beat

:50:53. > :50:55.

:50:55. > :50:59.his Nicolas Terol, but there is a new challenger to look out for also.

:50:59. > :51:09.This guy, he is the hunt, all the This guy, he is the hunt, all the

:51:09. > :51:16.

:51:17. > :51:26.And a big moment for Hector Faubel, he just get away with it. The

:51:26. > :51:31.German always at or near the front. That cornet down behind the pits is

:51:31. > :51:38.catching out a lot of people -- that corner. Bike number seven

:51:38. > :51:44.looking competitive. Always a hard charger. Both these guys in the

:51:44. > :51:50.hunt really pushing each other. Bike number 18, Nicolas Terol, it

:51:51. > :51:56.was always going to be him up. But Maverick Vinales was still pushing

:51:56. > :52:06.and saw off the best of them. His first here in this Championship and

:52:06. > :52:15.

:52:15. > :52:25.in poor position in front of Danny Kent in 12th position. And it

:52:25. > :52:29.

:52:29. > :52:38.A long way back, but tough conditions. These conditions are

:52:38. > :52:42.difficult. It was interesting to hear before thank you for the

:52:42. > :52:47.weather, he is always complaining about it because he lives in the

:52:47. > :52:52.south of France! There are a lot of puddles, but it will be a great

:52:52. > :52:58.racing. Let's see if we can catch up with those British races before

:52:58. > :53:04.their home Grand Prix. I am here and it is still raining.

:53:04. > :53:14.I am going to show you five British, because there is a wild-card rider

:53:14. > :53:16.

:53:16. > :53:21.also. He is riding in the Spanish Championship officio, Wessex of Our

:53:21. > :53:25.riders have graduated from this year -- where six of our riders. In

:53:26. > :53:31.26th place, we have Taylor Mackenzie. He said he was going to

:53:32. > :53:38.be missing Friday practice to sit his A-level exam and his teacher is

:53:38. > :53:43.a big MotoGP fan so he has helped him to set that up. Ahead of him on

:53:43. > :53:49.the 9th Road, we have got Harry Stafford, his first full season

:53:49. > :53:58.here -- the 9th row. He competed in the British Championship last year.

:53:58. > :54:02.He has had a difficult start with injury. And he had a crash with a

:54:02. > :54:10.Danny Webb that he was talking about. And we will try to speak to

:54:10. > :54:16.Danny Webb, a veteran. His 5th season in the Championship. He

:54:16. > :54:22.finished in 8th position last year, which was a good result in his best

:54:22. > :54:27.season so far for him in the Championship. A bit harder, a bit

:54:27. > :54:33.more difficult this year on the new bike for him. He is helping to

:54:33. > :54:39.develop it alongside his team-mate, Marcel Schrotter. He said to me

:54:39. > :54:44.before that he was going to go all out and tried and if he crashes, he

:54:44. > :54:50.crashes. He actually said, of gas it! I am saying that you told me

:54:50. > :55:00.off-camera you were going to Gas et! Is that still the plan? We will

:55:00. > :55:07.see what happens, I would get my head down and see where we end up.

:55:07. > :55:13.I am on the grid, so get down and get my head down and see what

:55:13. > :55:19.happens. If I have any doubts, and will close my eyes! How do you feel

:55:19. > :55:25.about the conditions? It has worked for other riders today, but she

:55:25. > :55:31.said it you do not want rain today. -- but you said. I am not fan -- I

:55:31. > :55:35.am not a fan, but it is part of racing. A lot of people have been

:55:35. > :55:42.crashing in MotoGP because of standing water so we will try and

:55:42. > :55:52.stay out of that and try and bring it home. Good luck. One row up from

:55:52. > :55:53.

:55:53. > :55:59.him, we have got Danny Kent. He finished 5th in the race, 4th in

:55:59. > :56:05.the race he has corrected me! I guess you will be happy with

:56:05. > :56:10.conditions today? I am not going to complain, I am happy with a dry

:56:10. > :56:18.race or a wet race. I will just have to be consistent and see what

:56:18. > :56:25.we can do. We will hope to see you at the front at the end of the race.

:56:25. > :56:32.It looks like it is going to be a great race.

:56:33. > :56:38.Plenty to watch, Danny Webb and Danny Kent. I am not sure of the

:56:38. > :56:43.tactics of, if I am not sure of what to do, I will close my eyes! I

:56:43. > :56:48.might try that! Danny Webb has five years' experience but that is still

:56:48. > :56:53.not a lot, and in front of 75,000 fans in these conditions in your

:56:53. > :56:59.home grand prix, it is going to be very, very difficult. We are going

:56:59. > :57:05.to be able to watch the 125 cc for the first time here on BBC Two so

:57:05. > :57:09.no need to go outside in these conditions. Stick with us for 45

:57:09. > :57:14.minutes off the top racing, as you can see, at rain has been

:57:14. > :57:24.interfering with play here at Silverstone. The weather, I believe,

:57:24. > :57:28.is no better down at Queen's. A rather depressing picture at the

:57:28. > :57:34.Queen's Club. Rain is falling heavily and no prospect of any

:57:34. > :57:38.tennis right now. And what the final! Britain's number one Andy

:57:38. > :57:43.Murray against talented Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. But the rain is

:57:43. > :57:47.falling and the forecast is not very good so if there is any play,

:57:47. > :57:53.we will bring it to you, but if there is not, we will be back

:57:53. > :57:58.tomorrow afternoon at 12:30pm on BBC Two. Fingers crossed! Tickets

:57:58. > :58:02.will be available from �10 if play is available. But hopefully, we

:58:02. > :58:07.will still see some tennis here today.

:58:07. > :58:14.Mac, back to use at --, back to use. That is the back end of the

:58:14. > :58:17.starting grid. I hope you can sit back and enjoy it because it looks

:58:17. > :58:23.as though it will be full of incident. Steve and Charlie are

:58:23. > :58:30.back in the commentary box. I hope you have been doing your homework!

:58:31. > :58:35.I always do the highlights of 125 and so I hope I am match-fit! I

:58:35. > :58:39.cannot wait to see how Steve will get on! I love it and particularly

:58:39. > :58:49.in these conditions. The look -- the good thing is that because they

:58:49. > :58:57.

:58:57. > :59:06.have much narrower tyres, but they slower. I am by proportion, they

:59:06. > :59:14.lose last time a black eyes and a very fast bikes. -- they lose less

:59:14. > :59:20.time than faster bikes. You are likely to get all the horrible

:59:20. > :59:25.things you get riding a motorcycle in wet conditions. Below there is

:59:25. > :59:35.uncomfortable because it is wet and heavy and difficult to move around

:59:35. > :59:42.-- a leather suits. It makes a significant difference to the horse

:59:42. > :59:52.power in these conditions. And the track, as you can see, it is still

:59:52. > :59:52.

:59:52. > :59:58.pretty wet. If you have never seen a 125 race I can tell you it is a

:59:58. > :00:02.knock them down and drag them out stuff. We sit in awe of these guys

:00:02. > :00:08.way you have five of Ben Cross sing a line within a 10th of each other.

:00:09. > :00:14.Cost macro is the manner to beat, he is different and it runner.

:00:14. > :00:20.Sandro Cortese also. But Maverick Vinales is in his first year of

:00:20. > :00:25.this racing, he has been on pole for the first time and only had six

:00:25. > :00:35.races, he is a child. He had to wait for a birthday because he --

:00:35. > :00:40.

:00:40. > :00:48.before he could get onto the track, Maverick Vinales, No 25. Keep an

:00:48. > :00:58.eye on him. Bike No 8, te roll, he is leading the Championship and

:00:58. > :01:02.

:01:02. > :01:09.rides for the people. That was Bradley Smith's 125 team. Te roll

:01:09. > :01:13.there that is by a big margin the most celebrated 125 team. There is

:01:13. > :01:17.our boy, Danny Webb. The same applies in this class, if you have

:01:18. > :01:24.a horsepower advantage and we know Danny is sorting out this bike for

:01:24. > :01:29.the guys, this is a great opportunity to shine. Yes, the

:01:30. > :01:35.discrepancy in power is nowhere near as pronounced in these

:01:35. > :01:41.conditions. Danny Kent qualified in 15th. Sorry Danny Kent qualified in

:01:41. > :01:50.12th and Danny Webb in 15th. They are the two British lads up the

:01:50. > :01:55.front. Taylor McKenzie had a few issues. We did see what you do from

:01:55. > :02:01.28th. That is what was done by Bradley Smith. But I have never

:02:01. > :02:08.said this properly, revs are up... Almost. Getting himself in position.

:02:08. > :02:13.Bit of a grid swap going on. Maverick Vinales on the right. Sit

:02:13. > :02:20.back and enjoy, this is going to be fun - for us any way. Those guys

:02:21. > :02:24.are going to be wet. Revs are up, and they're away. It is a bit slow,

:02:25. > :02:33.but Maverick Vinales has nailed it on the right hand side, making the

:02:33. > :02:42.turn in. Te roll is trying to ride around the outside of the pair of

:02:42. > :02:49.them. We spoke about being offline. There is three already off the

:02:49. > :02:59.track. These are all kids and are all sorting themselves out. It is

:02:59. > :02:59.

:02:59. > :03:08.like a flock of Stahlelings there. They -- starlings there. Maverick

:03:08. > :03:18.Vinales was hung out to dry a bit there. That is a proper spray issue.

:03:18. > :03:18.

:03:18. > :03:24.There is Terol. Folger looking down the inside. There is no time there,

:03:24. > :03:29.they're four abreast. Any old line you like. They are high and wide.

:03:29. > :03:35.Maverick Vinales has dropped a couple of spots. Just in behind the

:03:35. > :03:41.pack. There he is, No 25. Look like he is in fifth or sixth place. 17

:03:41. > :03:48.laps the journey here. Across the old pit strait. We will give you

:03:48. > :03:55.some speeds as we get them across the strait. We get a tangle. That

:03:55. > :04:05.is Faubel. We saw him in qualifying have a moment in life that hesome

:04:05. > :04:05.

:04:05. > :04:11.got away with. It is important with 125 to gate drive. The most

:04:11. > :04:20.important corner -- to get a drive. The most important corner on the

:04:20. > :04:30.circuit is coming up. There he goes and it is No 18 charges through,

:04:30. > :04:34.

:04:34. > :04:40.the man that qualified second fastest, Terol. No 11 is there.

:04:40. > :04:45.Danny Kent up into 13th. they're right out on the pavement.

:04:45. > :04:54.Don't for goodness think about getting on that grass, or what

:04:54. > :04:58.looks like grass, atro turf. Folger is the man. The man that is second

:04:58. > :05:05.in this race is third in the Championship. This is really close.

:05:05. > :05:10.Side by side. Folger getting passed Terol. He has got to sort it out

:05:10. > :05:15.for this right-hander. Look at the speed being carried by Zarko on the

:05:15. > :05:22.red bike behind the green bike. Really pushing hard. Maverick

:05:22. > :05:28.Vinales is back into sixth. Zarko goes through. Terol is being

:05:28. > :05:31.prudent. He has got the lead in the Championship. You are. We have all

:05:31. > :05:36.done that. You're leading a Championship, it is hard to defend,

:05:36. > :05:45.because you can make an idiot of yourself by falling off trying to

:05:45. > :05:55.get an extra couple of points. But he has had that tremendous start to

:05:55. > :05:59.

:05:59. > :06:04.theer -- the year with those four wins. Zarko in the orange. They're

:06:04. > :06:12.are still pretty well bunched at the front. It is Danny went went

:06:12. > :06:22.over the line in 13th. And 209 was young McPhee. What speeds have they

:06:22. > :06:30.got? We got 209. 210 I beg your pardon. That is not bad going.

:06:30. > :06:40.125mph. Good enough. Little single cylinder two stroke machines. The

:06:40. > :06:42.

:06:42. > :06:48.end of a two stroke era coming up as we stroke to four stroke. A

:06:48. > :06:53.squeeze there. A bit of nip and tuck, Faubel ducking through. We

:06:53. > :06:56.have seen Terol in the last couple of races electing to let others

:06:56. > :07:01.through when he has been leading, he waved Maverick Vinales on the

:07:01. > :07:07.last time. He has done it a couple of times, because he does not

:07:07. > :07:12.necessarily like to lead all the way. Slip streaming is part of it.

:07:12. > :07:17.But here he does not want those two guys to get in fault, so he is

:07:17. > :07:22.holding the line. They go down the hill and this is the battle for

:07:22. > :07:29.third. 18 plays 55. Team mates at play and this is that treacherous

:07:29. > :07:33.part of circuit. You come out of here and grab a gear as you come

:07:33. > :07:38.through here. The final corner before the finishing line. Up on

:07:38. > :07:45.the pavement the grip in the pavement is good here at

:07:45. > :07:51.Silverstone. They use nice abrasive paint on the curving. It is fair to

:07:51. > :07:57.say that as a rule there is a greater ratio of crashes in 125

:07:58. > :08:02.than in the GP class as a rule. They have to get on with it.

:08:02. > :08:08.somebody like Terol in third is as likely to think those two clowns in

:08:08. > :08:14.front are just as likely to hop off as not. But they are making a very

:08:14. > :08:19.good fist of it. Folger and Zarko are some seconds down the track now.

:08:19. > :08:28.Maverick Vinales is in fifth. So there is your leader in the red

:08:28. > :08:33.colours. Look at Maverick Vinales. He has managed to pull it up.

:08:33. > :08:40.Nicely done from him. Will he switch to the inside? He has. Take

:08:40. > :08:43.that! Two in one. Two team mates got beaten up there. Zarko goes

:08:43. > :08:48.through. Sorry Maverick Vinales straight the way through. This is

:08:48. > :08:53.his sixth race. It is stonking stuff. Of course, he has not been

:08:53. > :08:58.to Silverstone and definitely not in these conditions. At the front,

:08:58. > :09:08.bike No 5 and look at this Terol's getting a bit of a dust up here.

:09:08. > :09:18.That last lap from Folger was the fastest lap of the race. He has got

:09:18. > :09:18.

:09:18. > :09:25.a 0.8 second lead. The man on your screen is third in the Championship.

:09:25. > :09:32.Jonas Folger. So it is as usual the sharp guys at the sharp end. This

:09:32. > :09:41.is a battle for third place. This could swap and swap again two or

:09:41. > :09:50.three times a lap. Vin aless has good speed. -- Maverick Vinales has

:09:50. > :09:55.good speed. But a squeeze there, no 39 squeezing through. Louis Salom

:09:55. > :10:00.there. He is not usually at the pointy end, but making hay while

:10:00. > :10:08.the sunshines. He did have a good qualifier and got into sixth place.

:10:08. > :10:17.Oh no, there you go, he overclubbed it. We spoke too soon. Reentering

:10:17. > :10:23.hopefully. So three laps down. Folger I on his own. Second is

:10:23. > :10:33.Zarko and then Maverick Vinales. Now bike No 15 starting to put

:10:33. > :10:34.

:10:34. > :10:40.pressure on. Here is the mistake. Oh wow! Salom, Salom? It was slalom.

:10:40. > :10:48.How did he hang on to that? We have had the blade aerobatic team here

:10:48. > :10:54.today, well that was acrobatics. Fearless on the paints for reasons

:10:54. > :10:58.best known to them as they move down the inside strait. Folger is

:10:58. > :11:02.looking strong. That lead is now a second. The German rider looking

:11:02. > :11:06.like he got it fairly well sorted out. I can tell you that

:11:06. > :11:12.unfortunately for these guys one or two of the damp crowd have gone

:11:12. > :11:19.home. It is not as full as it was for MotoGP. I don't think damp is

:11:19. > :11:24.the way to put it. Well good luck to them, we admire the 75,000 of

:11:24. > :11:30.them that toughed it out and came here. Zarko is closing him down.

:11:30. > :11:40.Look at that. Not so much getting in the draft as getting in the

:11:40. > :11:41.

:11:41. > :11:48.spray. Still under the screen there, even in the wet. Then sit back,

:11:48. > :11:54.back a gear, back another one now for these lovely little 125

:11:54. > :12:01.machines. I was brought up in the two-stroke era and it is a sad

:12:01. > :12:07.sight that this is the last of two- stroke racing. But it is progress

:12:07. > :12:12.and the Japanese manufacturers don't make any two-stroke machines

:12:12. > :12:17.now. This is a change for the lead is it? No it isn't, Zarko had a

:12:17. > :12:25.good strong look, trying to pressurise the German, Folger.

:12:25. > :12:31.gap they have opened up is absolutely laudable at this stage.

:12:31. > :12:37.The Frenchman there. Just probing away on the red machine. I can tell

:12:37. > :12:41.you. Oh look another that rain. Danny Webb has moved up to 15th. He

:12:41. > :12:49.rate behind Danny Kent. That is looking good for Danny Kent. For

:12:49. > :12:59.both of them actually. Harry Stafford not starting today. That

:12:59. > :13:03.

:13:03. > :13:08.is very disappointing. There we go, Terol, 18. Tyrol does not want to

:13:08. > :13:18.get shuffled back too far. He doesn't want to get too beaten up

:13:18. > :13:21.

:13:21. > :13:25.in this race. He is going in sixth and seventh place. Look at that.

:13:25. > :13:32.Zarko giving it ten tens. He lost ground there. There is no question.

:13:32. > :13:37.He wouldn't have got on the power. He was off the track. Right on to

:13:38. > :13:46.the grassy AstroTurf. He would have lost a lot of ground actual

:13:46. > :13:55.Liverpool Zarko just put -- of ground actually. Zarko put in the

:13:55. > :14:01.fastest lap of the race. And he is in the Paris Hilton ma stheen and

:14:01. > :14:10.Paris Hilton was at -- machine and Paris Hilton was at the last race

:14:10. > :14:14.to cheer him on. I would say that almost certainly No 5, Zarko is the

:14:14. > :14:19.quickest guy on the track. We saw how he had caught up and then lost

:14:19. > :14:23.a lot of ground, now he has caught it up again. Folger has some issues

:14:23. > :14:29.at the moment. He has got someone all over the back of him and I

:14:29. > :14:34.think any minute now the lead will change. 13 lapse remaining. Zarko

:14:34. > :14:44.one of few derbies. Up on the pavement, look at this. Right on

:14:44. > :15:19.

:15:20. > :15:24.here is brilliant. This is the gap back-to- they are less -- Vinales.

:15:24. > :15:30.They have had to sit there today watching these conditions, watching

:15:30. > :15:36.the slipping and sliding. I would say there is fractionally less

:15:36. > :15:46.water than there was in the MotoGP. The rain has not really abated. It

:15:46. > :15:48.

:15:48. > :15:56.has not stopped but is still not as heavy as in the MotoGP rest.

:15:56. > :16:06.pretty good battle with Sony there. The laps are tumbling down. It is

:16:06. > :16:08.

:16:08. > :16:14.getting fractionally drier. Folger has put in a good time. The best

:16:14. > :16:24.speed through the speed trap was 213 mph. Danny Webb has dropped

:16:24. > :16:29.

:16:29. > :16:34.back a bit now. Danny Kent has got himself back into 13th.

:16:34. > :16:44.proportion, they have more bikes on the track, giving them more hope of

:16:44. > :16:54.

:16:54. > :16:58.a dry line. Zarco looks quite happy following. I believe that Zarco is

:16:58. > :17:08.biding his time a bit here, keeping a close eye on what is going on. I

:17:08. > :17:13.

:17:13. > :17:23.feel like he has something up his sleeve. There is a long way to go.

:17:23. > :17:25.

:17:25. > :17:31.Often, these races are decided in the slipstream to the line.

:17:31. > :17:37.would have to get a big run to get on the inside. It is literally just

:17:37. > :17:47.round the last corner, into that very slippery section where we have

:17:47. > :17:55.

:17:55. > :18:05.seen so many slide off the track there. Look at the gap between

:18:05. > :18:29.

:18:29. > :18:39.these two and third place. Faubel corner. The Formula One circuit

:18:39. > :18:44.

:18:44. > :18:53.turns left that this point. It goes up to the famous Bridge Corner.

:18:53. > :18:58.There is the difference in lap times. Zarco has got his tail up,

:18:58. > :19:07.Steve. He started from third on the grid. It is his first ever front

:19:08. > :19:12.row start in professional racing. Now he is trying to make a mauve.

:19:12. > :19:22.He did not quite get there, but he is really pitting Folger under

:19:22. > :19:26.

:19:26. > :19:31.pressure. -- putting. difficulty is that if you run round

:19:31. > :19:38.the outside you have compromisedFor the left. These are all linked

:19:38. > :19:45.together from the point where you are into the brakes. This is the

:19:45. > :19:52.one that you should get right. It looks to me that the number 94

:19:52. > :20:02.machined has got the speed. In the slipstream, Zarco does not have, is

:20:02. > :20:02.

:20:02. > :20:12.not able to pass. Just probing around there, seeing what he can do.

:20:12. > :20:13.

:20:13. > :20:23.Terol, meantime, he is going to pull it up. He was wide enough and

:20:23. > :20:33.he could block enough. That was it. Into the Vale. I think he thinks he

:20:33. > :20:36.

:20:36. > :20:41.can go faster. Yes, head down and try to ease the gap out if you can.

:20:41. > :20:51.If either of these guys it makes a mistake, they are so far ahead of

:20:51. > :20:54.

:20:54. > :21:04.the rest of the field they all but guarantee a win for the other rider.

:21:04. > :21:04.

:21:04. > :21:10.You can see Terol, Vazquez right within. Terol has that huge lead in

:21:10. > :21:19.the championship. Danny Kent is knocking on the door of the top 10

:21:19. > :21:29.as well, Steve, which is useful. Here is the past. It was very deep,

:21:29. > :21:37.

:21:37. > :21:41.down to veil. -- Vale. He has done exactly what you suggested - head

:21:42. > :21:47.down and try to pull out a bit of an advantage. Yes, this is going to

:21:47. > :21:57.be a big test. After the next series of corners, we have the back

:21:57. > :22:00.

:22:00. > :22:10.straight. There is finale's, still running third. His first pole

:22:10. > :22:11.

:22:11. > :22:17.position in Grand Prix racing. He is in good company. He is quite a

:22:17. > :22:26.sensation. Back at the front, it is these two, and as you can see they

:22:26. > :22:31.are slowing down. Look at the speed. Hang on, we have got something

:22:31. > :22:41.going on here. I do not know if tsar, steadier but he lost a lot of

:22:41. > :22:53.

:22:53. > :23:03.ground on the straight there. I think he may be missed at here --

:23:03. > :23:10.

:23:10. > :23:17.agear. Be aerodynamics favour the smaller rider. Some riders are

:23:17. > :23:22.literally just too big for the bike. As soon as you stick your knee or

:23:22. > :23:32.you are my it on the straight, you you'd -- you lose 1,000 revolutions

:23:32. > :23:46.

:23:46. > :23:52.per minute. Vazquez is getting in the middle of that scrapped. There

:23:52. > :24:02.are lots of tactical moves made in this. Danny Kent is now inside the

:24:02. > :24:14.

:24:14. > :24:22.top 10. A yes, his manager is here as well this weekend. They are

:24:22. > :24:28.absolutely fearless on these white lines, the pair of them. It does

:24:28. > :24:36.take a very special person to race motorcycles. The fastest lap now

:24:36. > :24:46.goes to Martin. That is interesting. He is in fifth position. Yes,

:24:46. > :24:49.

:24:49. > :24:55.Adrian Martin, another Spanish rider. He is new this year. Even

:24:55. > :25:04.when Bradley Smith was in here, the year that he ran second, there was

:25:04. > :25:14.a third rider in that team as well. Adrian Martin, as a Spanish-

:25:14. > :25:15.

:25:15. > :25:25.registered rider, is having a great ride. That, to me, indicates that

:25:25. > :25:25.

:25:25. > :25:28.the rain is not falling quite as hard. It is a tiny bit drier.

:25:28. > :25:38.Normally the first six or seven laps would be where you would pit

:25:38. > :25:40.

:25:40. > :25:48.in the fastest lap, so I think the track is trying a little bit.

:25:48. > :25:58.for Martin, is an absolute sensation. Terol, being the slowest

:25:58. > :26:06.of the trio, is not something we're used to seeing. He has not really

:26:06. > :26:14.had an auspicious start to the season. Maybe has a problem with

:26:14. > :26:24.his visor or something like that. That is the battle for sixth.

:26:24. > :26:24.

:26:24. > :26:29.People were getting more and more confident as this race unfolds.

:26:29. > :26:38.can see that it is still raining, but not hard. You get to know where

:26:38. > :26:41.the dry parts are and where the puddles are. We do not see it, but

:26:41. > :26:51.they will be slipping and sliding, losing the front and losing the

:26:51. > :27:03.

:27:03. > :27:13.rear. Yes, they still have those two-stroke characteristics, in

:27:13. > :27:16.

:27:16. > :27:26.spite of the lesser power. There you go! Folger is just trying to

:27:26. > :27:27.

:27:27. > :27:34.tap the horsepower on. I think that Zarco has been playing with him.

:27:34. > :27:42.There are eight laps remaining. There will be no tyres over heating,

:27:42. > :27:52.that's for sure! Bradley Smith could hardly speak when he came in

:27:52. > :27:58.

:27:58. > :28:08.from his race, it was so-called. -- so cold. Zarco is having a good

:28:08. > :28:09.

:28:09. > :28:19.show. Finale's was speeding up. We are going to get a proper measure

:28:19. > :28:31.

:28:31. > :28:41.of this across the line. There is Vinales. There is Adrian Martin,

:28:41. > :28:46.

:28:46. > :28:54.the man who set the fastest lap, off the track and then back on.

:28:54. > :29:01.my goodness! That is not possible! That was just extraordinary. The

:29:01. > :29:08.one good thing about nearly crashing when you're going fast,

:29:08. > :29:18.the gyroscopic effect of the wheel makes it want to stay up right, it

:29:18. > :29:22.

:29:22. > :29:32.is you with your weight that will push it over.

:29:32. > :29:35.

:29:35. > :29:43.The move has taken place. Now let us see. Three 10ths, that is not a

:29:43. > :29:49.lot. I truly believe that Zarco has the pace and speed to pull away

:29:49. > :29:59.with this. I think he has been slowing the pace down, hence their

:29:59. > :30:01.

:30:01. > :30:11.malice has closed down the gap. -- Vinales. He looks really neat

:30:11. > :30:29.

:30:29. > :30:33.through there. Grotzkyj has crashed faster. Looking very confident,

:30:33. > :30:39.this disman who is leading the race. He is only fifth in the

:30:39. > :30:48.Championship. The guy who is dropping off is third in the

:30:48. > :30:54.Championship, Folger. 2.34.0. So he has put in a faster lap. You can

:30:54. > :31:02.see by the distance, he has pulled out. This is going to go down to

:31:02. > :31:11.the wire. This now is the whole bunch of guys. They are pushing as

:31:11. > :31:17.hard as they possibly can. Another one running wide. Team mate to

:31:17. > :31:23.Danny Webb. That is Marcel Schrotter. Bringing it back on.

:31:23. > :31:29.Watch where you go sunshine. That was near lay big moment. He took a

:31:29. > :31:38.whole bunch of people with him. Taylor McKenzie started 26th and he

:31:38. > :31:48.is up to 15th. Just in the points. Danny Webb is in 14th, Danny Kent

:31:48. > :31:52.

:31:52. > :31:58.is still 10th. Here we go Vazquez, bike No 7. Oh no. I can't believe

:31:58. > :32:03.it. It is the Paris Hilton leathers, Maverick Vinales was staring down

:32:03. > :32:09.the barrel of a great podium finish. He has pushed it that bit too hard.

:32:09. > :32:14.But he was closing down the front two and took a second a lap out of

:32:14. > :32:20.them that. Is about a tenth too fast. Yes it was his fastest lap

:32:20. > :32:27.the last time. He was picking up the pace. Now this isn't over. I

:32:27. > :32:37.thought Zarko was going to disappear. But Folger is keeping in

:32:37. > :32:42.there. Oh that is why. Flipping heck. That was exotic stuff. A

:32:42. > :32:50.focusing moment. It is very much not over yet. The Frenchman there

:32:50. > :32:55.really, really giveing himself a major fright. Six laps remaining

:32:55. > :33:00.and I thought. Let's look at this again. As he turns the power on,

:33:00. > :33:07.over the puddle and it just, he thut the throttle, it regripped and

:33:07. > :33:14.nearly fired him out of the seat. Bearing in mind they're lighter

:33:14. > :33:19.bikes, but even so, they're wet tyres are as good as anyone else.

:33:19. > :33:24.They still want have the crispness of edge as when they started.

:33:24. > :33:34.it is the sharpness of the red block that gives them grip and they

:33:34. > :33:40.tend to lose their performance. Zarko last time 2.34.9. To 2.34.0.

:33:40. > :33:50.So that second has been regained. Danny Kent is up to ninth. Courtesy

:33:50. > :33:52.

:33:52. > :33:58.of that exit we saw from Maverick Vinales. There is Terol, the

:33:58. > :34:03.fancied runner but he is nowhere. He is a good kid, Danny Kent. Very

:34:03. > :34:09.polite and he has a great future in front of him. In front of him,

:34:09. > :34:13.Folger is now back in front. He has just pipped Zarko. That looks good.

:34:13. > :34:23.These two, don't think will be playing for too much longer, they

:34:23. > :34:26.

:34:26. > :34:32.should start playing for keeps with less than five laps left. The rain

:34:32. > :34:41.starting again. It is just one of those days, showers keep blowing

:34:41. > :34:50.over and then it gets drier. All these lovely two-stroke machines.

:34:50. > :34:56.We have a faller. He also has been that in that Bradley Smith team in

:34:56. > :35:01.years gone by. He is of course, it is a bad day, he is of course...

:35:01. > :35:07.Team mate to Maverick Vinales. So they have lost both their bikes,

:35:07. > :35:17.the Paris Hilton team. Maybe the lap bards are telling them to press

:35:17. > :35:19.

:35:19. > :35:26.on too hard. But we have lost both of them. Not actually as bad as the

:35:26. > :35:36.run rate we had in Moto Two. We had a page of losses. Yes let's check

:35:36. > :35:38.

:35:38. > :35:45.out the British lads. In ninth it is Danny Kent. Danny Webb is 12th.

:35:45. > :35:55.John McPhee is 16th. He took a tumble as well. Earlier today. But

:35:55. > :36:02.

:36:03. > :36:09.he came back and he is in good shape. For the Championship,

:36:09. > :36:13.Cortese is only one place in front of Terol, so it won't make much

:36:13. > :36:18.difference points-wise. Terol is back in eighth. But he is a hell of

:36:18. > :36:25.a long way from the boys in front. He is 15 seconds. Maybe he has

:36:25. > :36:31.decided discretion is the better part of valour. Cortese is second

:36:31. > :36:37.in the Championship. So the front runners are seventh and eighth.

:36:37. > :36:43.Frplts for Terol it is 120 point for him. Folger, he is going to be

:36:43. > :36:52.closing in on Cortese. Folger is in the front and will pick up 25

:36:52. > :36:58.points. So that will really push him right up the top. Last lap

:36:58. > :37:02.2.34.6 for Folger. He is trying to get his head down and gap Zarko.

:37:02. > :37:07.You never know what they have up their sleeve until you try to sea

:37:07. > :37:10.what you have got and then it can bite you, you think you have got

:37:10. > :37:15.something up your sleeve and you touch a puddle and there you go.

:37:15. > :37:22.And you have got water up your sleeve. Exactly or you have got

:37:22. > :37:32.gravel up your sleeve when you have finished. Four laps to go. Just

:37:32. > :37:40.feeling their way through the corner there. Here is that pack.

:37:40. > :37:46.There is Martin. There is Vazquez. That is a big slide of guys that

:37:46. > :37:51.have got fourth. Talking of big slides, that is how Martin got on

:37:51. > :38:00.to terms, bike No 7 have a back slapper there. But he got away wit.

:38:00. > :38:08.We have seen some spectacular saves this afternoon. We really V we saw

:38:08. > :38:14.one from Simoncelli in the GP class. It is a good trick, but you can

:38:14. > :38:18.only do it once. This gap is coming down again. I can't work out who is

:38:18. > :38:28.trying to play games with whom. But once we cross the line, I'm sure

:38:28. > :38:30.

:38:30. > :38:35.they will have to declare their hand with three laps left. That

:38:35. > :38:40.looked like it was telling him he had got more of a lead than he had.

:38:40. > :38:45.They have got quite a bit on. Here is the man in third. He is nine

:38:46. > :38:55.second down the road, but the guy in second is nine tenth down the

:38:56. > :38:57.

:38:57. > :39:03.road. As you can see, there is the confirmation. And Martins has got

:39:03. > :39:08.himself back up into fourth. Vazquez in fifth. He is always a

:39:08. > :39:15.front-runner. Cortese is and Terol. But they are buttoning it off

:39:15. > :39:21.further. Back to 17 seconds from 15 a lap ago. That is happily that is

:39:21. > :39:31.not Danny Kent, it is his team mate, Marcel Schrotter. So Danny Webb

:39:31. > :39:41.rather. So Danny is now, well he will be 11th after that. They were

:39:41. > :39:42.

:39:42. > :39:46.having a good old battle. Danny Kent is tenth. Danny Webb 12th and

:39:46. > :39:50.McKenzie 13th. Well they will move up. We were talking to Danny Webb

:39:50. > :39:54.about this machine and they did have some difficulty power delivery

:39:55. > :40:01.problems. That is where he felt he was losing out. Which you don't,

:40:01. > :40:05.they have got that sort odd United. Ther doing a lot of testing -- that

:40:05. > :40:10.sorted out. They were doing a lot of testing. They were working on

:40:10. > :40:13.the electronics and the engine and trying to get the power delivery

:40:13. > :40:19.smoother. He said it was fast enough, but it didn't deliver it in

:40:19. > :40:24.the right way. There he is, Danny Webb. It looks well doesn't it?

:40:24. > :40:33.A nice-looking machine. Oh that was the wrong time to cut away. Please

:40:33. > :40:43.tell me he survived the AstroTurf. I'm surprised at Folger's speed. He

:40:43. > :40:47.

:40:47. > :40:52.is the one that has pulled the pin. He really has. He is lean out with

:40:52. > :40:57.his knees and when the he does that is because rather than leaning the

:40:57. > :41:03.bike over as much, are trying to keep the bike as upright as

:41:03. > :41:10.possible and the advantage is if it slides away, you can jab your knee

:41:10. > :41:19.on the ground. Is a -- it is a non- abrasive material. There is Danny

:41:19. > :41:26.Webb. He did survive that. Bike No 99. He is the moment again. Oh! It

:41:26. > :41:32.was a close one wasn't it? Indeed, bike No 99. He was guessing there.

:41:32. > :41:37.He does like tumble. But as he said, I'm just going to gas it. And

:41:37. > :41:46.plainly he was there. Back at the front, well second from front

:41:46. > :41:51.really. Bike Pa -- bike No 5. There is the front, bike No 94. A

:41:51. > :41:57.professionally-run team. Think you're right, it does not look as

:41:57. > :42:05.though Zarko can now respond. And Faubel is staring down the barrel

:42:05. > :42:14.of a useful podium at this place. As long as Folger can stay on. The

:42:14. > :42:23.pace he is running at, a hot pace, that is his fastest lap of the race.

:42:23. > :42:28.Folger leads 2.33.05. His fastest lap. Zarko is not responding and

:42:28. > :42:33.decided he is running the pace he wants to run and it is fast enough

:42:33. > :42:41.for him. Folger is looking strong and he has not had a race win this

:42:41. > :42:51.year. He has had... A second in Spain. He has had some podiums and

:42:51. > :42:55.a podium in Spain. Two podiums in Spain actually. Faubel on the other

:42:55. > :43:05.hand is paying the price of a non- finish in Portugal that. Is what

:43:05. > :43:06.

:43:06. > :43:09.really hurt him. He has had an 11th and 11th and a a -- a seventh. So

:43:09. > :43:14.getting on the podium would be a belter for him. It is rare you see

:43:14. > :43:18.a race so spaced out like this, but in these conditions, doing its bit

:43:19. > :43:22.to sift through the field and cut out a lot of the runners. Most of

:43:22. > :43:26.the time you have just lucked into a setting. You don't always have

:43:27. > :43:31.practice in the wet. They had warm up. But you find a spring that

:43:31. > :43:36.works. A gear ratio. A final drive ratio that is working. You have got

:43:36. > :43:43.the engine set right and it falls into place. Most important is

:43:43. > :43:47.having good feedback about what is going on in front of you. You're

:43:48. > :43:53.feeling your way through it and that gives you an advantage. You

:43:53. > :43:58.can't always Getty time. It depends on the track conditions, wind drex

:43:58. > :44:04.and sometimes you do luck into a setting. -- wind direction and

:44:05. > :44:12.sometimes you do luck into a setting. We see Terol in eighth. We

:44:12. > :44:18.have lost Marcel Schrotter, gid ya, Maverick Vinales Francesco

:44:18. > :44:28.Mauriello and Stafford. They are all not running. We still have 20

:44:28. > :44:33.

:44:33. > :44:38.round, Steve. It looked halfway through the race like he would be

:44:38. > :44:48.the one struggling, didn't it? was under pressure but he responded

:44:48. > :44:54.

:44:54. > :45:03.excellently. Germany 1, France 0. He is not going to press on any

:45:03. > :45:11.more because he has got light years behind him. Past the old exit of

:45:11. > :45:21.the pits. Now moving through the complex. To have something go wrong

:45:21. > :45:25.

:45:25. > :45:35.now would be too cruel indeed. has got it all sorted out. A good

:45:35. > :45:37.

:45:37. > :45:41.look over his shoulder as he comes down to the straight. Look how wet

:45:41. > :45:51.it still is. It give you a very good idea of how hard those guys

:45:51. > :45:53.

:45:53. > :46:01.are still going. That is more than 200 kilometres per hour. This is

:46:01. > :46:05.the corner that caught out Rossi in warm-up this morning. This is it,

:46:05. > :46:13.Steve, he is going to do it. The last corner. Head down, he is

:46:13. > :46:19.putting the bike, he knows he has done it. No shame for Zarco in

:46:19. > :46:27.second place. These two have been absolutely the class of the field.

:46:28. > :46:37.Where is Hector Faubel? Areas. That is a useful podium for him. Salom

:46:38. > :46:42.

:46:42. > :46:52.in fourth place, Vazquez in fifth, Martin in six. Terol in eight place.

:46:52. > :46:55.

:46:55. > :47:05.Danny Kent makes the Top Ten, bike number 52. Here is Danny Webb,

:47:05. > :47:08.

:47:08. > :47:12.right behind Danny Kent on the leaderboard. Two Brits. That was

:47:12. > :47:17.very fortunate for him that he survived that enormous moment. How

:47:17. > :47:27.about that? Taylor Mackenzie crosses the line in 12th place. We

:47:27. > :47:36.

:47:36. > :47:41.have got Kent, Wed and Mackenzie, tenth, -- when, in tenth, 11th and

:47:41. > :47:51.12th. Another name to look out for is

:47:51. > :47:56.

:47:56. > :48:04.your man Folger. -- your hand... Folger is there that the moment,

:48:04. > :48:11.but a very distant third to Terol. It is only the second race he has

:48:11. > :48:21.not won this year. Terol has absolutely dominated in the drive.

:48:21. > :48:25.Perhaps not quite as comfortable in them wet conditions. He was second

:48:25. > :48:31.in this series last year. He is the stand-out rider. He is one of the

:48:31. > :48:36.oldest riders and has the young guns breathing down his neck now.

:48:36. > :48:40.It is funny how when in these conditions can give a youngster

:48:40. > :48:48.like Folger the drive to kick on. That will be the case for Danny

:48:48. > :48:52.Kent and Danny Webb, too. It is good to see Hector Faubel getting a

:48:52. > :48:57.podium again. He always seems to be the bridesmaid in that team,

:48:57. > :49:07.doesn't he? He has crashed out of a couple of pole positions in this

:49:07. > :49:10.

:49:10. > :49:16.season. When he moved up to the intermediate class, it never quite

:49:17. > :49:25.worked out for them. He has taken a few races to get used to riding a

:49:25. > :49:34.125cc again. He never really made the step to a bigger bike but he is

:49:34. > :49:43.definitely a strong contender here. I think that Folger can get himself

:49:43. > :49:49.up there now, with Zarco. I think these two can start pushing Terol

:49:49. > :49:59.for the championship. That is what we need. Terol is the class act, as

:49:59. > :50:05.

:50:05. > :50:15.you say. Here we have the result. As you can see, the German just

:50:15. > :50:17.

:50:17. > :50:27.ahead of the Frenchman. A little clutch of Spaniards there. Sandro

:50:27. > :50:31.

:50:31. > :50:37.Cortese in seventh. Look at that, three Brits there. Isn't it great

:50:37. > :50:46.to see all those Union Jacks? was a really good result. I kept

:50:46. > :50:55.telling everyone it had stopped raining, but it is still pouring!

:50:55. > :51:02.Did you enjoy that, Steve? I was about to ask if we pretend over

:51:02. > :51:07.time for that! I always enjoyed a 125cc. There were some good battles

:51:07. > :51:11.going on. Seeing some of the scale of the guys when they should have

:51:12. > :51:17.crashed but they stayed on. That was fantastic. Adrian Martin should

:51:17. > :51:23.have crashed but he stayed on. What a stunning save this was. He is a

:51:23. > :51:29.rookie but you would not know it. It looks quite slow but that is

:51:29. > :51:37.about 85 miles an hour. They are quick, these bikes. These guys have

:51:37. > :51:45.got great skill. The name to look out for his Folger.

:51:45. > :51:53.Congratulations on your first win. What conditions! There was so much

:51:53. > :52:00.sliding and I had to take so much care in the first laps. I followed

:52:00. > :52:08.Zarco for many laps. I thought I could go faster. It was just

:52:08. > :52:12.amazing. Congratulations. An aim to look out for in the

:52:12. > :52:20.future, as I said. And speaking such good English at such a young

:52:20. > :52:30.age as well. It was a real disappointment for Lorenzo, wasn't

:52:30. > :52:38.it? Yes, it was. It bit him big style, he flew over the handlebars.

:52:38. > :52:48.Fortunately, he is not injured but he is going to be grumpy. He is up

:52:48. > :53:12.

:53:12. > :53:17.and running for us in two weeks' June. It is a Saturday, not a

:53:17. > :53:25.Sunday. That is the traditional. That is the Dutch TT. Hopefully the
