Fabio Quartararo, with his fifth victory at the MotoGP race in Silverstone this year, further increased his lead in the World Championship scoring.
Quartararo drove a routine race where he dictated the pace all the time in the lead and led four laps before the end with almost a four second lead, and we saw the most in the first lap of the race when Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez scored twice, and finally both fell and resigned.
Alex Rins and Aleix Espargaro also finished on the podium, bringing Aprilia the first podium in the MotoGP class in the last lap of the race after a tense duel with Jack Miller, the first for the Italian manufacturer in more than 20 years.
Quartararo took the lead in the fifth lap of the race, then dictated a fast pace that rivals failed to follow. The Frenchman increased his lead in the championship to 65 points ahead of current world champion Joan Mir, who broke through to ninth place in the overall standings.
Pol Espagraro, who started the race from the best starting position, also led after the start, followed by Quartararo and Aleix Espagraro, who briefly overtook Francesco Bagnaia. Behind them, however, a real drama unfolded when Jorge artin and Marc Marquez hit the Stowe slightly in a corner. This was followed by overtaking Marquez, which ended with another touch and the fall of both racers.
Aleix Espargaro took second place again at the end of the first lap, so they led together with their brother Paul in the second lap of the race.
The leading group of two Espargaroos, Bagnaie and Quartararo, quickly broke away from the pursuers, and Quartararo took second place in the third round and went on the hunt for the leading Paul Espargaro. The Frenchman successfully attacked the Honda racer in the fifth lap and took the lead, quickly gaining a comfortable advantage. Alex Rins broke through from the background in the middle of the race, retaining second place until the end of the race, and was finally looking forward to this year’s first podium.
Third place was given only in the last meters of the race, as Jack Miller attacked and overtook Aleix Espargaro in the last lap, while the Spaniard on Aprilia returned the shot and overtook the Australian, finishing third with a 0.149 second advantage over the Ducati racer. For Aprilia, these are the first podiums in the MotoGP class and Espargaro’s first after the 2014 Aragon GP.
Pol Espargaro finished the race in fifth place, his best achievement at Honda, and Brad Binder eventually broke through to sixth place. Iker Lecuona was seventh, Alex Marquez eighth, Mir ninth and Danilo Petrucci tenth.
Johann Zarco only managed to finish 11th in the end. Bagnaia was fourteenth at the end, and Enea Bastianini and Takaaki Nakagami were among him and Zarca.
Luca Marini scored the last point and the last places were shared by Miguel Oliveira, Cal Crutchlow, Valentino Rossi and Jake Dixon.
