British Grand Prix: Enea Bastianini of Ducati clinched victory at the British Grand Prix, completing a remarkable weekend double at Silverstone. The race saw Bastianini taking the chequered flag ahead of new world championship leader Jorge Martin and two-time MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia.

Bagnaia, who started second on the grid for Sunday’s main race, quickly overtook pole-sitter Aleix Espargaro to lead the opening lap. However, as the race progressed, he found himself embroiled in a fierce battle for third after Jorge Martin surged past him with eight laps remaining.

Martin, a frontrunner throughout the contest, appeared poised for victory, maintaining a solid grip on the race. But on the penultimate lap, the Pramac Racing Ducati rider ran wide at turn three, providing Bastianini the perfect opportunity to seize the lead.
