Why Aprilia suddenly looked unbeatable at Silverstone

Why Aprilia suddenly looked unbeatable at Silverstone

Aprilia looked superb in MotoGP's British Grand Prix at Silverstone, with Aleix Espargaro's last-lap pass on Pecco Bagnaia's Ducati to secure victory from 12th on the grid the icing on a cake that featured three bikes in the top five.

So why have it and Espargaro been unable to do that all season? And is this the start of a trend or does it feel like a circumstantial anomaly.

Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy, special guest Dre Harrison and Matt Beer debate that in the Silverstone episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.

They also look at yet more wild developments in the rider market, including very revealing information from all parties in a potential Ducati reshuffle that features Johann Zarco potentially being edged aside despite doing nothing wrong right now.

Championship leader Pecco Bagnaia gets his usual late-podcast mention for managing to shrug off wobbles without his points status looking in jeopardy, but the absolute state of Marc Marquez and Fabio Quartararo's weekends had fewer glass-half-full elements.
