2025 British MotoGP

Will Aprilia’s first MotoGP victory of 2025 convince reigning world champion Jorge Martin to stick with the Noale manufacturer? Maybe but possibly not, because everyone knows Silverstone is the RS-GP’s happiest hunting ground – the bike scored its first podium there in 2021 and its second win there two years later – so success at the British track doesn’t mean it’s suddenly turned a corner in development.

The bigger question, of course, is why any rival manufacturer would be interested in a rider who has so little commitment to a project.

Anyway, congratulations to Aprilia and to Marco Bezzecchi, for his first win since the 2023 Indian grand prix, when he rode a Ducati GP22.
