MotoGP Silverstone Warm Up LIVE: Be careful, one Aprilia can hide another!

MotoGP enthusiasts wanted intensity for the resumption of the championship at Silverstone after the long summer break? They are served!

A gap of 21 small points between fabio quartararo et Alex Espargaro, a Long Lap penalty handicapping the leader of the general classification during the British event, a huge fall in FP4 injuring the feet of the Catalan who had dominated the tests, and in the end, he is 3rd in the championship, Johann zarco, who will start from pole position alongside Maverick Vinales et Jack Miller after having shattered the circuit record, while the three who are said to be contenders for the title, which for Ducati obviously includes Francis Bagnaia, will only start from the second row... place your bets!

While waiting for this confrontation over 20 laps of the longest circuit of the season which will begin at 14 p.m., the 24 drivers have 20 minutes in the cool of the morning to warm up and fine-tune the details.

Clear skies, temperatures of 19° in the air and 30° on the ground, let's now enjoy these few live moments thanks to the official website MotoGP.com :
