MotoGP returns from its summer break at this weekend’s British Grand Prix with the closest championship battle in the modern era. Just 24 points separate the top five riders after 11 rounds, leaving little margin for error and giving Saturday’s sprint race an importance that cannot be dismissed as a supporting act.<\/p>\n

Jorge Martin arrives at Silverstone leading the standings on 208 points, but the Aprilia rider’s advantage is only 14 over Trackhouse sensation Ai Ogura, while reigning champion Marc Marquez sits a further four points behind. Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio Di Giannantonio remain within a race win of the lead, ensuring every point on offer could reshape the title picture.<\/p>\n
