Joan Mir laments front tyre issues, riding at the limit just to ‘have a chance’ of fighting for a top five, as his inconsistent 2022 MotoGP campaign continued at Silverstone after suffering yet another crash.

‘They make our decision very difficult’, said Davide Tardozzi, after 2023 factory Ducati contenders Enea Bastianini and Jorge Martin impressed at the British MotoGP.

With Aleix Espargaro a doubt for today’s British MotoGP at Silverstone, Aprilia’s hopes could rest largely on the shoulders of Maverick Vinales, not just for the win, but to take points off championship leader Fabio Quartararo.

Johann Zarco bounced back from an early crash at turn seven to top the opening British MotoGP practice session ahead of Francesco Bagnaia, who also crashed at turn four.

MotoGP series leader Fabio Quartararo is aiming for a second consecutive Silverstone win despite needing to serve a Long Lap penalty in Sunday’s race which has only fuelled the Frenchman’s fire.

While an extremely talented rider, Sam Lowes has doubts about whether Rory Skinner can become Britain’s next MotoGP star, mainly because the ‘step’ from domestic racing to Grand Prix is ‘massive’.
