MotoGP, Silverstone: Staggered schedules and new race order for the British Grand Prix

The 2025 British Grand Prix, scheduled for May 23-25 at Silverstone, is introducing significant changes to its schedule. The sessions will start two hours later than in France due to the time difference (UK: UTC+1, France: UTC+2). In addition, the Sunday race order has been changed: the Moto3 race will close the weekend, following the MotoGP and Moto2 races. Here are the key times.

The 2025 British Grand Prix, which will take place this weekend on the legendary circuit of Silverstone, promises to be unusual in more ways than one. A new time zone, a new race schedule, notable absentees, and a possible twist in the Martin-Aprilia affair... The paddock will certainly be tense...

First surprise: the races will start two hours later than in France, due to the time difference. But the most unusual thing is the order of the races on Sunday: Moto3 will close the program, taking place after Moto2 and MotoGP, a reversal of the traditional hierarchy.

The expected weather at Silverstone boosts Johann Zarco's stock

Behind the scenes, all eyes are on George Martin, at the heart of a media-contractual storm with Aprilia. Somkiat Chantra, operated on for compartment syndrome, remains uncertain. His return will depend on the post-operative progress. On the other hand, Aleix Espargaró will be on track, as part of his second wild card of the year for Honda HRC, bringing the total number of RC213Vs on track to four.

On the track side, we will wait for the reaction of a Pecco Bagnaia put out by his teammate Marc Marquez solid leader of the championship since the rainy stage of French Grand Prix won by a brilliant Johann zarco on his Honda LCR. In fact, in England, it rains often... The weather is expected to be awful on Saturday and Sunday. Silverstone, with autumnal temperatures…

Silverstone promises to be a strategic and emotional turning point of the 2025 season. Between sporting uncertainties and behind-the-scenes tensions, the MotoGP enters a high-intensity weekend.
