Jorge Martin claimed his third sprint win of the season at Silverstone as Aprilia locked out the podium for the first Sprint 1-2-3 in its history. Marc Marquez faded in the second half, passed by Franco Morbidelli late on, and held onto the final point by just 0.027s.

Getting speared by Morbidelli late and hanging on by 0.027 seconds — that's a rider whose focus was fading over the closing laps, corner entry to exit. Behind Aprilia's first-ever Sprint 1-2-3, Marquez had nothing left to attack with and was purely playing defense out there. I've seen that look before.

This makes me want to go watch a race at Silverstone myself.

Marquez hanging on by 0.027s was basically a near-collapse.

Morbidelli was maybe a few meters from stealing that spot.

First-ever 1-2-3, Aprilia's era might really be starting.

Ducati's dominance ran long, feels like the changeover point.
