It was Fernández’s second MotoGP Grand Prix victory, following Australia in 2025, and his first of 2026. By lap two he had already lowered the Silverstone race lap record to 1m58.457s, taking more than four-tenths from the previous benchmark, and by lap three his advantage was around two seconds. Aprilia makes championship historyThe race result completed an extraordinary British Grand Prix weekend for Aprilia. The Sunday result was Aprilia’s third Grand Prix podium lockout of 2026 after France and Assen, while Fernández became the fourth of the four regular Aprilia riders to win a Grand Prix this season. That marks the first time Aprilia riders have occupied the top three positions in the MotoGP World Championship at the completion of a Grand Prix weekend.
