World Championship leader Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) raced to a second Tissot Sprint victory of the season at the Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Great Britain as the No 89 completed a golden day at Silverstone on Saturday to extend his championship advantage ahead of Sunday’s Grand Prix.
Second went to Ai Ogura (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team), who limited the small damage done in the title race with a fine ride to a silver medal.
With the heroic Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) earning bronze, Aprilia celebrated a first 1-2-3 in a Sprint.
Alex Marquez led the Ducati charge home in P4 behind Aprilia’s trio, with Fabio Di Giannantonio’s lack of late-race pace costing him.
It was P5 for ‘Diggia’, P6 for KTM’s Pedro Acosta, P7 for HRC’s Joan Mir, and P8 for Franco Morbidelli ahead of ninth-place Marc Marquez.
