National pit straight

MotoGP World Championship: After a break of five weeks, the MotoGP World Championship resumes and begins an intense second half of the year at the historic Silverstone Circuit here with Joan Mir back alongside Marc Marquez in the Honda Team.

At 5.9 kilometres long, Silverstone is not only one of the oldest circuits on the MotoGP calendar but also the longest. First used in 1947, the British track has undergone a number of changes before arriving at its current 18-corner layout.
