2026 British MotoGP, Silverstone - Warm-up Results
Warm-up results from the 2026 British MotoGP at Silverstone, round 12 of 22.
After an Aprilia Sprint sweep, Alex Marquez puts Ducati back on top of the timesheets during warm-up for the 2026 Silverstone MotoGP.
The Gresini rider, who finished as the top Desmosedici in fourth on Saturday, outpaced Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse) and brother Marc Marquez.
After the major soft rear-tyre drop - suffered most notably by the likes of factory Ducati riders Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia - in the Sprint, all riders except Marco Bezzecchi ran the medium rear tyre in warm-up.
Aprilia told MotoGP pit lane reporter Jack Appleyard that Bezzecchi, returning from collarbone and knee injuries at Sachsenring, used the soft simply to save energy this morning.
The Italian was fourth ahead of VR46 riders Fabio di Giannantonio and Franco Morbidelli.
Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo, Aprilia's title leader and Sprint winner Jorge Martin and KTM’s Pedro Acosta completed the top ten.
The 20-lap British MotoGP starts at 1pm, between the Moto2 (11:15) and Moto3 (14:30) races.

Where is the Aprilia so fast?
Jorge Martin leads the MotoGP standings from fellow Aprilia rider Ai Ogura as the 2026 season restarts after the summer break.
Martin’s factory team-mate and former title leader Marco Bezzecchi is making his return to action after a collarbone fracture and knee injury in Germany.
However, Tech3’s Maverick Vinales has withdrawn from the Silverstone round to undergo further treatment on his shoulder injury and is replaced by KTM test rider Pol Espargaro.
Gresini’s Fermin Aldeguer remains absent due to a vertebra fracture at Assen, with his seat taken by Ducati WorldSBK race winner and former MotoGP rider Iker Lecuona.
Lecuona is making his second appearance for Gresini this season, after finishing seventh on his Ducati MotoGP debut at Balaton Park as an injury replacement for Alex Marquez.
This time Lecuona - who finally broke team-mate Nicolo Bulega’s unbeaten WorldSBK run at Donington Park - will be riding the satellite-spec GP25 rather than factory GP26.
Johann Zarco continues to be sidelined by knee ligament injuries at Catalunya in May, with LCR replacement Cal Crutchlow competing in a home British Grand Prix for the first time since 2021.
Yamaha test rider Augusto Fernandez is making his latest wildcard appearance.
