1/28 PEDROSA GETS DOVI!!! Absolutely sublime stuff from the Spaniard, who robs his Honda team-mate of a podium at the death!!!

2/28 Pedrosa is now 0.8 behind. Brilliant stuff. Can he get him?

3/28 The first two places look settled. But the real clash now is between Dovi and Pedrosa. Pedrosa is within two seconds, with just three laps to go...

5/28 It's a procession for Lorenzo. He leads Melandri by 12 seconds, with Dovi a further 10 seconds back. Pedrosa is catching Dovi though, and lapping very quickly indeed.

7/28 Edwards goes past his team-mate Toseland and moves into eighth.

8/28 Lorenzo will go top of the riders championship if he hangs on for victory here and there is every reason to think he will.

10/28 Lorenzo's lead is almost eight seconds now, with Melandri nearly 20 seconds clear of Dovi in third.

11/28 Lorenzo is cruising, as is Melandri. These two should see it home from here, barring any silly mistakes.

12/28 Lorenzo laps in 1:37.1 to pull further clear on his slicks. This is some performance by the Yahama rider.

13/28 Dovizioso fights back against Pedrosa in the battle for third, extending his lead after a very quick lap. Toseland is going well in seventh.

14/28 Melandri has cut Lorenzo's lead from 10 seconds down to just over four. We've got a real battle on our hands here.

15/28 Pedrosa blasts past Stoner and into fourth. Stoner was adjusting something and seemed to lose concentration for a moment.

16/28 Lorenzo now leads from Marco Melandri in second and Andrea Dovizioso in third.

19/28 Rossi changed bikes and came back out on wets!! But the Italian's chances are confirmed over when he is penalised for riding too fast in the pit lane.

20/28 Lorenzo clocks a fastest lap to extend his lead. Nicky Hayden is up to fifth.

21/28 Lorenzo stays out on wet tyres. He looks comfortable for now, but the track is drying out and he's taking a big risk.

23/28 ROSSI IS OFF HIS BIKE AND HIS CHANCES ARE SURELY GONE NOW!!!

24/28 Lorenzo is pulling clear of Rossi and lapping very very quickly indeed. ROSSI MAKES A HUGE DECISION AND OPTS TO CHANGE TYRES!!! PEDROSA FOLLOWS HIM INTO THE PITS!!! BOLD MOVE!!!

25/28 Toseland is fighting hard to win ninth from Randy de Puniet. Lorenzo now leads from Rossi in second.

27/28 Lorenzo takes Pedrosa and leads. Casey Stoner is in third, with James Toseland of GB in 10th.

28/28 Away we go!!! Pedrosa gets an absolute flyer and pulls away into the first corner from pole.

- It's officially been called a wet race, so wet tyres are on all the bikes. If the 125s and 250s are anything to go by, we're in for a lot of bikes skidding off the track in this one.

- Spaniard Dani Pedrosa is on pole, with Jorge Lorenzo second on the grid and Casey Stoner third. Valentino Rossi qualified fourth fastest.

- Good afternoon petrolheads and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the French MotoGP at Le Mans. It's WET WET WET, so you can expect some high drama in this one.
