MotoGP Full Race Results | Fernandez wins at Silverstone, Martin extends championship lead

After his two-year contract extension with Trackhouse was announced earlier this week, Fernandez scored his first Grand Prix victory of the season at Silverstone. After a great start, the Spaniard immediately began pushing to build a lead over the Aprilia factory riders and managed to hold on to it.

Martin moved up to second place after overtaking Bezzecchi on Lap 9 and extended his lead in the riders' standings as he comfortably finished ahead of his title rivals. Returning from injury, Bezzecchi finished third despite coming under pressure from Alex Marquez.

Despite a solid start and briefly moving up to third place, Marc Marquez once again began losing positions as the race went on. The defending world champion finished seventh, focusing on limiting the damage. The other Ducati factory rider, Francesco Bagnaia, had another difficult day and crashed out at Turn 7 on Lap 8.

Ai Ogura, who entered the weekend second in the standings, crashed out in the penultimate corner and failed to score any points. See the full results below!

After finishing second today, Martin now leads his teammate Bezzecchi by 31 points in the standings. He is also 37 points ahead of Ogura and 40 points ahead of Marc Marquez.
