MotoGP: Marc Marquez wins seventh title to equal Valentino Rossi Spain's Marc Marquez caps an incredible comeback to win his seventh MotoGP world championship title and move level with Italian great Valentino Rossi.

One of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time. Amazing to see how much more this one means given everything Marc has been through - #MoreThanANumber indeed.

Feels like Gary & co need to get comfortable with the idea of racing in the rain again - the tyres exist to make it safe. MGP and TT won't survive if everyone knows races will get camcelled any time it's spitting somewhere on the island. Teams, riders and fans won't bother turning up.

Senior TT cancelled - having never ridden a 200bhp motorbike, I'm not going to argue if some of the best racers in the world say the wind's too much.

Probably needs a re-evaluation of the schedule though, given that's 2 years in a row trying to run 10 races and failing #iomtt

Over at Thruxton for the BTCC today so selfishly quite pleased the Senior #iomtt has been delayed. Weather here has finally decided what it's doing - unfortunately it's decided I'm getting soaked.

Plenty of other winners out there not spending every interview slagging off other riders and teams.

New lap record and no. 33 for MD. Chuffed to see Dom on the podium as well, well deserved. Mega ride for Baz Furber too.

Getting a little tired of hearing Todd constantly go on about how everyone else has better bikes, or is following him too closely #iomtt

161 mph through Sulby speed trap for the Crowes - 8mph up on anyone else, hell of a machine they've built. Love the engineering that goes into all the sidecars #iomtt

Can't call a winner for the Senior between MD, Todd and Dean. Dean in particular looks to be going better than ever.

Good run for Hillier and Conor, and Josh Brookes making progress with a 131.4mph lap. Shame Hutchy retired, looking quicker and quicker and could have been on for a podium. #iomtt

All falling Dean's way in this one. Nathan Harrison and Conor both having a great run. #iomtt

135.692mph for Dean Harrison - bloody hell. Earned that win.

Big step forward for Hutchy as well, 131.6mph and top 5. James Hind with a 132 too!

Dean Harrison is dragging everything out of that Honda. Great first laps for Hillier, Nathan Harrison and Hutchy as well #iomtt

130.3mph from Dunlop on the Ducati, monster last lap. And chuffed for James Hillier on the podium #iomtt

2.9 seconds - Dean needs a huge lap here to hold off Dunlop #iomtt

MD finding some proper pace now. Hillier looking comfortable in 3rd too 🀞 #iomtt

Dean Harrison is flying on the 600. Great start for Hillier as well, definite contender for a podium #iomtt

Crowe brothers off like a rocket and should have this one in the bag, but a nice battle shaping up behind #iomtt

1.2 seconds after 150 miles. 135mph from both Todd and MD on the last lap. Mega.

Brilliant 4th for Nathan Harrison, and Mcguinness, Davo Johnson and Hillier all throwing in a 131 at the end as well #iomtt

1.9 between Todd and Dunlop at the end of lap 3 - this is going to be a quick final lap #iomtt

That's a mega first lap for Nathan Harrison - 131.27mph #iomtt

Superb analysis of everything that happened in the closing laps today from Ant. Such an asset to Sky. #SpanishGP #SkyF1

An absolutely spectacular collapse. Such a rapid succession of increasingly bad decisions once that safety car came out.

Yikes indeed.

Quick, give Leclerc a penalty for the collision on the straight and George one for Turn 1. Then we get a Hulkenberg podium. #spanishgp #f1

The #MonacoGP has never been an overtaking fest, but rather about seeing the cars in close confines around the streets.

Visually, the Monte Carlo circuit is still more spectacular than Vegas or Jeddah.

I don't see how it was ever going to work. Clashing with the Monaco GP, Indy 500, a BTCC round and the start of the TT takes out pretty much the entire audience for MotoGP in the UK.
