Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi took a shock victory in a chaotic 2025 British Grand Prix as the factory Ducati riders struggled at Silverstone.

The 20-lap British Grand Prix started under dramatic circumstances as a tangle between Franco Morbidelli and Aleix Espargaro left oil on track at Vale, leading to a red flag.

At Turn 1, Alex Marquez - who won the sprint - crashed while taking the lead, with Marc Marquez falling at Turn 10 as he led seconds prior to the race being red-flagged.

The stoppage allowed both Marquez brothers to take the 19-lap restart as three tours hadn’t been completed, offering a reprieve for both.

At the restart, polesitter Fabio Quartararo grabbed the lead on his factory Yamaha and headed the field for much of the race before a technical issue knocked him out on lap 12.

This allowed Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi to inherit the lead and take his first victory since the 2023 Indian GP, and his first for the Italian manufacturer.
