Francesco Bagnaia will be eager to continue his dominance by making it five victories in a row by clinching the
British MotoGP title.
Most recent race
The Ducati Lenovo Team rider was in his element at the most recent race on the 2024 calendar which was the German MotoGP on 7 July.
Bagnaia started on the fourth grid and he went on to win the race, and he also finished third in the sprint event which saw him accumulate 32 points.
MotoGP title ambitions
The 27-year-old is now placed at the top of the MotoGP Riders' standings having accumulated 222 points from nine races.
Bagnaia is 10 points clear of second-placed Jorge Martin of Ducati Prima Pramac Racing as the top two riders battle it out for the MotoGP world title.
Why Bagnaia could win the 2024 British MotoGP
Bagnaia has remarkably won four consecutive races namely, Catalan MotoGP, Italian MotoGP, Dutch TT and German MotoGP as he looks to retain his MotoGP world title.
Having clinched the British MotoGP in 2022, the former Mahindra rider knows what it takes to secure a win at the Silverstone Circuit.
What did he say?
“We didn’t have the easiest start to the season," Bagnaia said after being crowned champion at the 2024 German MotoGP.
"But we did an incredible job and even here, where we weren’t the strongest, we still managed to put ourselves in the condition to fight for the win. Today’s race craft was very important, as it had been in Barcelona.
"I saw that both Jorge and Franco (Morbidelli) were pushing a bit too much, but still it was a tough race and to come out victorious from it is simply fantastic.”
