Fresh from his breakthrough victory in the wet Silverstone Sprint, Alex Marquez was again battling at the front in the early stages of Sunday’s British MotoGP race.
Marco Bezzecchi says this morning’s wet conditions during Practice 2 and MotoGP qualifying at Silverstone were very dangerous and that the sprint would have had to be delayed had it rained to the same extent.
Johann Zarco’s accident with Marc Marquez’s sliding bike on pit exit at the Sachsenring prompted comparisons with the risk posed to those serving a MotoGP Long Lap penalty.
Marco Bezzecchi overcame a penalty in the French MotoGP, which he claimed was fully deserved, in order to reduce Francesco Bagnaia’s championship lead to just one point.
