2025 British MotoGP: Marco Bezzecchi stuns for victory after red flag drama
At the chaotic 2025 MotoGP British Grand Prix, Marco Bezzecchi of Aprilia claimed a surprising victory, with the factory Ducati riders struggling throughout the race at Silverstone.
The race had a dramatic start with incidents involving multiple riders, leading to a red flag situation caused by oil on the track at Vale after a tangle between Franco Morbidelli and Aleix Espargaro.
Alex Marquez crashed while leading at Turn 1 and Marc Marquez fell at Turn 10 just before the race was red-flagged, allowing for a restart with the Marquez brothers back on the grid.
Fabio Quartararo led most of the restarted race before a technical issue forced him to retire on lap 12, handing the lead to Bezzecchi who went on to secure his first victory for Aprilia.
Johann Zarco took second place, Marc Marquez finished third, and Alex Marquez claimed fifth, while Pecco Bagnaia crashed out for the second consecutive Grand Prix.
Marco Bezzecchi’s triumph came amid reports of world champion Jorge Martin looking to leave Aprilia, further shaking up the MotoGP scene.
