Marc Marquez finished seventh in Friday practice for the MotoGP British Grand Prix, admitting he is 'a bit slower' through the fast, flowing corners that once suited his style. He was seven-tenths off leader Marco Bezzecchi and three-tenths behind teammate Fabio di Giannantonio, saying his shoulder no longer lets him compensate the way he used to.

Seventh, seven-tenths back — that's the reality Marquez is living with right now. A rider who used to feel every corner through his fingertips admitting he's 'slow' in the fast stuff, that costs something to say out loud. Until that shoulder's fully sorted, he's got to find the time elsewhere. At least there was no giving up in his face.

Didn't realize a shoulder injury affected riding that much.

Seventh but only three-tenths off — Q2's still on the table.

That not-giving-up look on his face gets me.

Prime Marquez would've still been hunting the podium in this spot.

Seven-tenths back is rough. Podiums feel far off til that shoulder's actually fixed, no?

Alex is clearly the faster brother right now.
