2016 MotoGP British GP
Silverstone MotoGP - Race
Live Text
That's it for us for the day - a spectacular race that yielded yet another well-deserved new MotoGP winner.
It would've not felt quite right if Maverick Vinales were to leave Suzuki without a victory in a season like this one - and Vinales duly grabbed his best opportunity with both hands.
The championship picture is largely unchanged, although Valentino Rossi is now within two races of Marc Marquez.
There's six more grands prix to go. Will we get another shock new winner next week at Misano, or will it be back to normal for MotoGP?
Vinales: "It feels incredible. All I fight all the time, I come through for a race like that - I could manage all the time, the laptimes were good.
"I came to this weekend thinking I could win. I felt great at Silverstone always and my bike was on a great level. And we did it. One dream that came true.
"I hope I can give to Suzuki more things like that."
Crutchlow: "It was a long race. Good fun, very fun to be battling the guys at the front.
"I think we've deserved this, the crowd here deserved this. They've backed me over the years, most of the time I've been in the hospital - to be here on the podium for them is fantastic.
"I didn't expect to be on the podium, so to come away in a second place is good."
"Very fun battle with Marquez and Crutchlow and I'm very happy for this podium."

This is Crutchlow's third podium in the past four races. After a rocky start to the season, he's really turned a corner - he was brilliant today.
What a fantastic win.
Maverick might have very well broken his team's hearts by deciding to sign with Yamaha for next year - but made sure of a spot in Suzuki's history books today.
That's seven different winners in the past seven races in MotoGP - and the fourth first-time winner from the past five races.
Then it's Marquez, Pedrosa, Dovizioso, Espargaro, Lorenzo, Petrucci, Bautista.
Alex Lowes is a very reasonable 13th on his debut.
This will be the longest three laps of his life.
He's more than a second ahead of Lorenzo at the moment.
