Trackhouse Racing's Raul ‌Fernandez led from the opening lap to win the British ​MotoGP on Sunday, capitalising on an early setback for ⁠championship leader Jorge Martin at Silverstone. Spaniard Fernandez swept past pole-sitter Martin into Turn One and never looked back, stretching his advantage to more than four seconds ‌before taking the chequered flag 2.54 seconds clear. The championship leader recovered to reclaim second from Bezzecchi on lap nine but was unable to get ‌close enough to challenge Fernandez. Martin's runner-up finish extended his ​championship lead to 31 points, with Bezzecchi, who finished third, moving up to second in the standings. Bezzecchi faced stiff competition from Gresini Racing's Alex Marquez, ​who made a late mistake and dropped back.
