MotoGP Britain: Bastianini Secures British Double
MotoGP returns from its summer break this weekend at Silverstone. The MotoGP Britain weekend saw Enea Bastianini win both races for the first time
MotoGP heads to Silverstone this weekend for round 10 of the 2024 World Championship, the British Grand Prix. Aleix Espargaro set pole position on Saturday, but it was Enea Bastianini who took victory in both the Sprint and Grand Prix.
Overview
Grand Prix - Bastianini doubles up with late Silverstone charge
Sprint - Bastianini wins as Marquez, Bagnaia crash out
Qualifying - Espargaro takes pole from Bagnaia with new lap record
Friday Practice - Martin fastest in both practices as Aprilia shows good form
2023 - Espargaro beats Bagnaia in last lap damp duel
Grand Prix
Enea Bastianini secured his first ever MotoGP double, winning the Grand Prix in addition to his Sprint success, at the British Grand Prix.
Bastianini didn't make the best start, and it was Francesco Bagnaia who made the holeshot and led in the opening laps from Jorge Martin.
By half-distance, though, Bagnaia was beginning to struggle with front grip, and he slipped backwards. First, Bagnaia lost the lead to Martin on lap 12, and then Bastianini made his way into second two laps later.
Bastianini then closed the half-second gap he had to Martin, and when the Spanish rider made a mistake at turn three on the penultimate lap the Italian was able to make his way through. With superior grip, Bastianini then pulled away, winning in the end by almost two seconds.
Martin held onto second, while Bagnaia secured third despite a late push from Marc Marquez, who made his way up to fourth from seventh on the grid.
Fabio Di Giannantonio made it an all-Ducati top five thanks to a late pass on Aleix Espargaro, whose hard-compound front tyre was not enough for him to mount a challenge for the podium by the end, as he slipped to sixth.
Alex Marquez was seventh, ahead of Marco Bezzecchi, the best KTM of Pedro Acosta, and Franco Morbidelli who completed the top 10 despite a double long lap penalty for his role in the first corner crash with Marco Bezzecchi in the Sprint.

Sprint
Enea Bastianini took victory in the MotoGP Sprint at Silverstone, beating Jorge Martin after Francesco Bagnaia crashed out.
The start was messy, with Bagnaia battling for the lead with Aleix Espargaro going into turn one. But Jorge Martin held it around the outside and came out on top, and went onto lead the first half of the race.
On lap three, Bagnaia set the fastest lap of the race, and the reigning champion seemed to be bringing himself back into contention as he looked for a way past third-placed Espargaro.
However, no sooner had Bagnaia arrived on Espargaro's rear wheel than he'd crashed out at turn four on lap four. That left Espargaro to fight with Martin and Bastianini, although he never really had the pace to challenge them.
Bastianini began to increase the pressure on Martin after Bagnaia crashed, but it took until lap six for it to pay, when he got better drive out of Chapel and onto the Hangar Straight, before matching Martin on the brakes.
Martin was initially able to hang onto Bastianini initially, but eventually the Italian's pace proved too much to the Spaniard, and Bastianini cruised to a first Sprint victory (and podium) by over one second.
Martin held onto second place, ahead of Aleix Espargaro who finished third for his first Sprint podium since he won in Barcelona.
Marc Marquez was fourth after Bagnaia's crash, but then he crashed out at the final chicane, promoting Brad Binder to fourth.
Binder was initially in the battle for the podium with the Ducatis and Espargaro, but nearly ran into the back of Bagnaia on lap two. When he ran wide, Pedro Acosta tried to take advantage, but his line converged with Binder's on the exit of Village and they touched. Marquez was able to take advantage of that, and four what at the time was the front it was the opportunity they needed to break away.
Acosta ended up sixth despite losing his left front wing, while Alex Marquez was sixth. Jack Miller, Maverick Vinales, and Fabio Di Giannantonio took the final points, while Miguel Oliveira rounded out the top 10.

Qualifying
Aleix Espargaro set pole position for the MotoGP British Grand Prix at Silverstone, after visor issues for Francesco Bagnaia.
Bagnaia had been fastest at the end of his first run of Q2, but when starting the first lap of his second run he had an issue with the sponsor sticker at the top of his visor. Espargaro, meanwhile, had a clean run on his second tyre, and used it to beat Bagnaia's lap by over 0.2 seconds.
Fortunately for Bagnaia, it didn't get worse from there, as a crash for Maverick Vinales at turn two compromised almost everyone else's final lap.
So, it was second for the championship leader, whose closest rival, Jorge Martin, will start fourth, beaten by Enea Bastianini to third.
Joining Martin on row two will be Alex Marquez and the best KTM rider, Brad Binder, while Marc Marquez heads up row three from Vinales and Pedro Acosta. Fabio Di Giannantonio, Jack Miller, and Marco Bezzecchi rounded out the Q2 runners on row four.

Friday Practice
Jorge Martin topped both practice sessions on Friday at Silverstone, beating Aleix Espargaro to the best time of the day by less than a-tenth-of-a-second.
Martin's 1:57.911 was just over 0.1 seconds away from Johann Zarco's all-time lap record from 2022, while Aleix Espargaro was the only rider to join him in the 1:57s.
Francesco Bagnaia was third-fastest, ahead of Enea Bastianini and Jack Miller who completed the top five. Fabio Di Giannantonio, Brad Binder, Maverick Vinales, Marco Bezzecchi, and Marc Marquez completed the top 10.
There were mechanical problems for both Bezzecchi and Bastianini in afternoon Practice, but those issues didn't prevent either of them from making Q2 tomorrow.
