Marquez Ukir Sejarah
Marc Marquez tak terhentikan sejak bergabung dengan tim pabrikan Ducati. Usai memenangi dua ronde pembuka, kegagalan finis di COTA sempat menghentikan lajunya. Namun, sejak Aragon, #93 telah mengantongi lima kemenangan ganda berturut-turut dalam balapan Sprint dan Grand Prix – menjadikannya pembalap Ducati pertama yang melakukannya. Ia kini memimpin perebutan gelar juara dengan keunggulan meyakinkan, yakni 120 poin.
Zarco ends France’s home drought

After a steady if unspectacular start, he stunned the field at Silverstone by charging from P11 on the grid to victory - his first with Aprilia that came as a timely and major boost for the Noale factory.

Heartbreak for Quartararo
While Yamaha and Fabio Quartararo have made major qualifying gains - securing four poles, including a stunning three-in-a-row streak - the Frenchman's long-awaited win remains out of reach.
