Trackhouse Racing's Raul Fernandez took the lead from the opening lap and crossed the line first at Silverstone, his second Moto GP win. The 25‑year‑old, who had crashed out of Saturday’s sprint, finished 2.5 seconds clear of the rest of the field.

Championship leader Jorge Martin started from pole but suffered a technical fault at Turn One, briefly dropping to fourth before recovering. Despite the setback he ended up behind Fernandez, but still extended his top‑spot advantage to 31 points.

April­ia teammate Marco Bezzecchi secured third, climbing to second in the standings, while Ai Ogura fell to third after his first season‑ending DNF. Defending champion Marc Marquez finished seventh, moving to fourth overall.

Six other riders crashed or retired, including Alex Rins, Joan Mir, Enea Bastianini, Iker Lecuona, Cal Crutchlow and Francesco Bagnaia. Moto GP confirmed a contract extension with Silverstone, keeping the British Grand Prix on the calendar until at least 2028. The next race is the Aragon GP in Spain on 30 August.
