MotoGP Inggris: Live Update Hari Jumat dari Silverstone
Paruh kedua musim kejuaraan balap motor Grand Prix kembali bergulir di Silverstone, yang menjadi tuan rumah MotoGP Inggris.
Pemenang terakhir kali, Francesco Bagnaia datang ke Grand Prix Inggris mencari kemenangan pertamanya di Silverstone. Sementara itu, pemenang balapan bertahan Fabio Quartararo ujian yang tidak iasa.
Pemenang back-to-back sebelum insiden dengan Aleix Espargaro di Assen, Quartararo harus mengatasi penalti Long Lap dalam balapan hari Minggu jika dia ingin meraih kemenangan Silverstone kedua berturut-turut.
Dengan Quartararo memiliki penalti, Espargaro menjadi salah satu yang diuntungkan. Pembalap Spanyol itu berada dalam performa sensasional sepanjang musim 2022, dan jika hasilnya di Silverstone tahun lalu merupakan indikasi - mengklaim podium pertamanya untuk Aprilia setelah finis ketiga - maka penampilan lain yang sangat kuat harus ada di kartu.
Mengakhiri karir MotoGP-nya hanya dalam tiga waktu balapan, semua mata akan tertuju pada runner-up tiga kali MotoGP Andrea Dovizioso akhir pekan ini.

Good afternoon and welcome back to the opening day of action at Silverstone. Coming up in ten minutes time is MotoGP FP2.

Martin on his Ducati future
"For sure this weekend will be so important," Martin told MotoGP.com "These two weekends (Silverstone and Red Bull Ring) are just before the decision of Ducati for next season. My future depends a little bit on this decision but it won’t change a lot.
"Even if I stay in Pramac or [factory] Ducati, on the technical side it will still be the same. I’m quite relaxed about that.
"Just I want to make results and my target is if not battling for the win, then the podium. That’s for sure."
