Danny Kent has become the first British world champion since Barry Sheene in one of the MotoGP classes after winning the Moto 3 title in Valencia.

Kent, 21, went into the final race of the season in Spain needing to finish only 14th if closest rival Miguel Oliveira won the race.

The Portuguese did just that on his KTM but Kent came home in ninth on his Honda to become the first British champion since Sheene won his second 500cc world title in 1977, ending a 38-year wait.
