Jorge Martin takes British MotoGP pole with Silverstone lap record

An all-Aprilia front row at Silverstone is the clearest single-session statement yet of where the machinery advantage sits in 2025 — factory, satellite, and Trackhouse bikes filling the top three ahead of every Ducati. Martin's 22nd career pole and second in three races tightens his grip on the championship narrative, but the subplot that will shape the race is Bagnaia starting 16th after failing to clear Q1 on the factory Ducati — his worst qualifying of the season. The Marquez brothers both found themselves unable to improve on their second runs, which keeps the race result genuinely open despite Aprilia's front-row lockout. Ducati's response over race distance, particularly from Bagnaia through the field, is the story to watch on Sunday.
