The title race takes another twist as Martin retakes the lead from Bagnaia as Bastianini claims grand prix win at Silverstone
Enea Bastianini claimed only his second MotoGP victory as a factory Ducati rider in the British Grand Prix, as Jorge Martin finished second to snatch the points lead away from Francesco Bagnaia. Bastianini, who had already shown glimpses of his rapid pace by winning Saturday’s sprint, took advantage of a mistake for Martin with just two laps to score his fifth career win in MotoGP and mark himself as an outsider contender for the championship.
Di Giannantonio’s team-mate Marco Bezzecchi took eighth behind Espargaro after passing Tech3 GasGas rider Pedro Acosta late on. Factory KTM rider Jack Miller looked set to complete top 10 before dropping to 12th in the final laps behind the Pramac Ducati of Franco Morbidelli and the lead Yamaha of Fabio Quartararo.
