Jorge Martín dominates Silverstone with pole and Sprint victory

Jorge Martín dominated the opening day of the MotoGP British Grand Prix at Silverstone, securing both pole position and victory in the Sprint race. During qualifying, Martín set a new all-time lap record with a time of 1:56.160, narrowly beating Raul Fernandez.

In the Sprint race, Martín maintained his lead from start to finish, marking his 19th Sprint victory. The race resulted in an all-Aprilia podium, with Ai Ogura finishing second and Marco Bezzecchi in third. This performance extends Martín's lead in the championship to 220 points, 17 ahead of Ogura and 27 ahead of Bezzecchi.

In contrast, Marc Márquez faced a difficult day, struggling with rear tire degradation that caused him to lose positions, ultimately finishing ninth. The results highlight a strong weekend for Aprilia, which demonstrated superior pace on the Silverstone circuit compared to competitors like Ducati.
