Bittersweet day for Ducati as Bastianini wins the sprint and Bagnaia gives away a near-certain podium
Enea Bastianini won MotoGP's British Grand Prix sprint for the factory Ducati team, but a crash for his team-mate Francesco Bagnaia allowed Jorge Martin to close in the title race. Bastianini passed long-time leader Martin on lap seven of 10, claiming a first victory of any kind in MotoGP since Malaysia 2023, while Aleix Espargaro recovered from a slow start to complete the podium for Aprilia.
There was a massive crash at the start of the race when Pramac’s Franco Morbidelli fell going into Turn 1, taking VR46 rider Marco Bezzecchi with him. Although Bezzecchi had to be put on a stretcher and Morbidelli also struggled to get up on his feet, both were reported to be conscious and taken to medical centre for check-ups.
