The six-time champion faced a close battle with his brother Alex throughout the race as they fought for the championship lead. Marc’s strategic race paid off as he now holds a significant 22-point advantage heading into the British Grand Prix. With his main rivals facing setbacks and falling behind in points, Marquez extended his lead, particularly over Francesco Bagnaia, who finished in 16th place due to an early incident.
