The weekend at Silverstone began under the sign of Jorge Martìn, author of the best time on a Friday that also saw Aprilia in the spotlight thanks in part to a new aerodynamics on the RS-GPs. All the bigs hit Q2, but the one who perhaps suffered most of all was Marc Marquez, who ended the day on the fringes of the top ten and in order to hit a good lap he had to pick an opponent to follow.
The phone not ringing also gave a wake-up call to Jack Miller, who was the best of the KTM riders today and centered a performance to frame. The only bikes left seem to be a Yamaha in Pramac and Trackhouse's Aprilia, which, however, seems destined for Ai Ogura. Meanwhile, Dorna is not pushing at all for more Spaniards or Italians on the grid.
We are told all about it by our correspondents Matteo Aglio and Andrea Scalera, in the company of Carletto Pernat, who also tells us about the latest in the market, with Quartararo pushing hard to get Tony Arbolino right into the ranks of Yamaha in Pramac.
