At the MotoGP British Grand Prix, Ai Ogura (Aprilia) qualified third and finished second in the sprint behind Jorge Martin, with Marco Bezzecchi third as Aprilia swept the sprint podium. In the main race, an apparent ride-height device issue slowed Ogura off the start, dropping him to seventh before he crashed out at Turn 16 on lap nine, his first DNF of the season. Raul Fernandez won the race ahead of Martin, giving Aprilia the top two spots again.

I watched the corner entry to the exit, and that sprint P2 was pure skill. But a ride-height device failure in the main race is fatal out there — throttle feel in your fingertips means nothing if the hardware doesn't cooperate. Still, Aprilia sweeping this hard in one weekend is borderline absurd.

What's the ride-height device actually for?

Can't say what caused the Turn 16 crash until the telemetry drops.

Making it this far into the season before a first DNF is pretty solid actually.

P2 in the sprint was genuinely great, the DNF really stings though.

Aprilia is just too strong right now, everyone else is falling behind.

Losing it to a device glitch — MotoGP relies way too much on the tech now.
