Jorge Martin finished second at the British GP but still extended his championship lead to 31 points with 240, ahead of Marco Bezzecchi on 209. Ai Ogura, who retired from the race, sits third on 203.

Extending your points lead without even winning — that's exactly what makes Martin dangerous right now. I've watched enough racing to know a champion is defined by how much they salvage on an off day. A 31-point gap is a real cushion once you factor in the rounds still left.

Aprilia holding 1st, 2nd, and 3rd — isn't that a huge problem for everyone else?
