Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi emerged victorious in a thrilling 2025 MotoGP British Grand Prix at Silverstone, surprising many as factory Ducati riders faced difficulties on the track. The race kicked off dramatically with a collision between Franco Morbidelli and Aleix Espargaro, resulting in oil spillage and a red flag. Alex Marquez, who initially led the sprint, crashed at Turn 1, while Marc Marquez also fell shortly after leading, leading to the race being halted.
The red flag allowed the Marquez brothers to restart the 19-lap race with Quartararo initially leading on his Yamaha until a technical issue forced him out on lap 12. This turn of events paved the way for Bezzecchi to take the lead and secure his first victory under Aprilia since the 2023 Indian GP, marking a significant achievement for the Italian team.
Just weeks prior, rumors circulated about reigning champion Jorge Martin potentially leaving Aprilia by the end of 2026, adding intrigue to the team dynamics. LCR Honda’s Johann Zarco claimed second place, building on his recent Le Mans victory, while Marc Marquez clinched the final podium spot by fending off Morbidelli.
With Marc Marquez now leading the championship by a considerable 24-point margin, the competition intensified as Pecco Bagnaia faced setbacks, crashing out for the second consecutive Grand Prix. Quartararo’s brief surge was halted by mechanical issues, allowing Bezzecchi to capitalize on a strategic tire choice and secure a commanding victory.
Throughout the race, Bezzecchi strategically maneuvered through the field, eventually crossing the finish line over four seconds ahead of Zarco. The battle for third was fiercely contested between Marc Marquez and Morbidelli, culminating in a thrilling last-corner exchange that saw Marquez clinch the final podium position by a razor-thin margin.
Further down the ranks, Alex Marquez finished fifth, Pedro Acosta led the charge for KTM in sixth, and Jack Miller of Pramac claimed seventh. Luca Marini faced a penalty for tire pressure, while Brad Binder dropped a position due to a track limits violation on the final lap.
The 2025 MotoGP British Grand Prix showcased intense competition, unexpected twists, and a well-deserved victory for Marco Bezzecchi, solidifying his place among the top contenders in the championship race. As the season unfolds, fans can expect more thrilling races and unpredictable outcomes in the world of MotoGP.
