2025 British MotoGP: Friday practice As It Happened
Live text coverage of Friday practice at the 2025 MotoGP British Grand Prix
The seventh round of the 2025 MotoGP season takes place at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix.
After six rounds, Marc Marquez leads the championship by 22 points after taking an important second-place finish last time out in the wet French Grand Prix.
The factory Ducati rider comes to Silverstone chasing his first victory at the UK venue since 2014, but believes he faces stiff competition from his younger brother Alex Marquez on the Gresini Ducati and 2022 British GP winner Pecco Bagnaia.
Bagnaia has slid 51 points back in the championship after a double non-score at the French GP, as he looks to find a solution to his front end problems on the factory Ducati.
The British Grand Prix has seen 10 different riders win at the event in the last 10 editions, which is a run that could be ended by a previous victor in Maverick Vinales.
The Tech3 KTM rider has been in consistently strong form in recent rounds and has emerged as the reference rider within the brand.
Fabio Quartararo has secured back-to-back pole positions in MotoGP in the last two rounds and will be a contender for a third this weekend at a track the Yamaha has gone well at in the past.
Honda welcomes back Aleix Espargaro for a second time this season as he makes another wildcard appearance on the RC213V.
FP1 was topped by Marc Marquez ahead of Franco Morbidelli and Alex Marquez.
Practice is scheduled for 16:00 local time.

With 40 minutes to go we're firmly in the race pace segment of this Practice session. For Bezzecchi, who's now in the pits, there was some decent-looking consistency on that soft tyre.
16:14
Franco Morbidelli has crashed at the end of the back straight at turn six. He was able to walk away.
16:12
Marc Marquez has crashed at turn three. He'd just gone third-fastest. He's up and ok, riding the bike back to the pits.
16:11
Between Bezzecchi and Rins, a difference in front tyres: hard for Bezzecchi, medium for Rins.
Quartararo was briefly third, but Alex Marquez now up to third. They're both on medium rears.

Most riders out on medium rear tyres at the moment but it's Marco Bezzecchi and Alex Rins on soft rears at the top for the moment.
Ogura has walked out the back of the Trackhouse garage.
16:07
Jack Miller has crashed at the Vale chicane. He was on course to go fastest but a front end fold at the end of the lap there has cost him early on.
16:05
Johann Zarco at the top here early on.
Ogura just shown on TV replays looking quite uncomfortable in the garage. He'd been out but went straight back to the garage.
16:03
Marc Marquez missed the practice start session this morning. Davide Tardozzi just telling the world feed that it was for a "stupid issue", and that Marquez was frustrated because of the nature of the first corner here, where the braking is quite light.
