In a stunning turn of events at the MotoGP British GP, Alex Marquez shattered his brother Marc’s impeccable winning streak in sprint races, securing a glorious victory at Silverstone. The younger Marquez displayed sheer dominance on his Gresini Ducati, leaving Marc trailing behind in second place after an early error cost him the lead. Despite this defeat, Marc maintains a solid 19-point lead over Alex in the world championship standings as they head into the highly anticipated British Grand Prix on Sunday.
Polesitter Fabio Quartararo failed to capitalize on his exceptional one-lap pace, relinquishing the lead to Marc Marquez early in the race. The Ducati GP25’s superior power allowed Marquez to swiftly overtake Quartararo on the Hangar Straight, setting the stage for a thrilling battle between the Marquez brothers. Surprisingly, Marc’s rare mistake at Village on the second lap handed the lead to Alex, who expertly controlled the race thereafter, denying Marc any chance to reclaim the top spot.
Francesco Bagnaia, starting from the front row, faced tough competition and lost ground in the opening corners. Despite this setback, he managed to secure third place by overtaking Quartararo on lap three. Meanwhile, Fabio di Giannantonio showcased impressive pace on his VR46 Ducati, claiming the final spot on the podium and redeeming himself after a disappointing performance at Le Mans.
As Quartararo’s performance waned, Marco Bezzecchi and French GP winner Johann Zarco seized the opportunity to finish in fourth and fifth place, respectively. Bagnaia valiantly defended his position against Quartararo, ultimately crossing the finish line in sixth place. The remaining points were awarded to Pedro Acosta on the KTM and Jack Miller’s Pramac Yamaha.
The MotoGP British GP delivered a spectacle of skill, strategy, and surprises, setting the stage for an intense battle for the championship title. With Alex Marquez breaking his brother’s winning streak, the competition is heating up as the season progresses.
