He silverstone circuit will be the stage from this Friday of the return after more than a month of hiatus from the motorcycling world championshipwith the dispute of a British Grand Prixthe ninth round of the calendar that opens an important second part of the season for Jorge Martín (Ducati), Dani Holgado (KTM) and Pedro Acosta (Kalex) and which hopes to be more positive for Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda).
The first part of the campaign left the Italians in the lead Francis Bagnaia (Ducati), in the MotoGP category, and Tony Arbolino (Kalex), in Moto2, and the Spanish Dani Holgado, in Moto3. The three will start the second demanding and long stretch of the championship, which will consist of twelve races, and in which Bagnaia arrives in the best position.
The current world champion is asserting the ‘1’ in the ‘Desmosedici’ and went on vacation with a good advantage of 35 points over Jorge Martinwhich is emerging as the best national asset to fight for a title that, except for a huge surprise, will be for a motorcycle from the Borgo Panigale factory.
Ducati is practically unbeatable and, with the Italian Marco Bezzecchi, dominates the first three places in the World Cup general classification, managing to win 18 of the 24 podiums that have been played so far in Sunday’s races. The ‘Desmosedici’ have won all the Grand Prix except the one in Las Americas, where the Spanish won Alex Rins (Honda), and they will seek to maintain that ‘dictatorship’ on the asphalt in an appointment where the rain could encourage things.

Bagnaia, who has won four Grand Prix, leads with 194 points, chased by Martínwho underwent surgery after Assen (Netherlands) to solve a minor leg problem and be at the top to try to rub shoulders with the man from Turin, who will want to open his gap further on a track where he already won last year and where there were four Ducati in the ‘Top 5’, including the one from Madrid (fifth), who also has to defend his point of advantage in second place against Bezzecchi.
After the three pilots from the Italian factory, there is the South African Brad Binder (KTM), the only one that has passed 100 points (114) without being on the back of a ‘Desmosedici’, but that borders better on Sprint than on Sundays, while it will be necessary to see if Aprilia takes advantage of the podium of Aleix Espargaró in ‘La Catedral’ to take that long-awaited step forward to compete more regularly for the top positions.
Less rosy is the outlook for Yamaha, whose official team has been the first to begin the ‘dance’ of transfers with the arrival of Rins by Franco Morbidelli to accompany a Fabio Quartararo who has suffered a lot except in the COTA (third), and for a Repsol Honda that clings to Marc Márquez.

The eight-time world champion is living another difficult yearNow mainly due to a motorcycle that is far from being competitive and that has brought him to the ground too many times, causing new injuries that prevented him from racing in the last two races before the break at Sachsenring (Germany) and Assen.
