Ducati's Marc Marquez slipped to ninth in the Silverstone sprint after his rear tire dropped off badly late on, having run as high as fourth.

Holding fourth and then having the rear just fall off a cliff late on — I know that feeling in my own fingertips from the throttle. In the pits, someone was surely saying tire management just wasn't clicking today. Still, calling P9 a day where he 'showed real pace' only makes sense because of how much this track has haunted him in the past.

What does aiming for P5-P6 in the race even mean here?

Basically a realistic target since Aprilia's out of reach right now.

P4 to P9 says a lot about the tire management gap.

Being satisfied with P9 seems a little too positive.

Showing pace at a track that's beaten him before actually matters.
