Loser: Maverick Viñales
Viñales had been KTM’s most consistent rider since the Americas GP, but that streak officially ended at Silverstone.
The problems started early for him. He didn’t get into Q2 on Friday due to a technical issue. On Saturday, his bike broke down in Q1, so he qualified 18th — his worst qualifying result in a while.
In the sprint, he could only finish 13th. And on Sunday, he didn’t choose the soft front tyre, finishing in 11th.

Winner: Fabio Quartararo
Quartararo had terrible luck on Sunday with how the race ended for him, but he still deserves praise. Once again, he proved he’s a top rider — even on a slower bike. If it hadn’t been for the broken ride-height device, he likely would have won the race.
Getting pole position in Jerez and Le Mans was impressive, but doing it at Silverstone was even more amazing. His bike was 10 km/h slower than others, yet he still set his best lap without help from any rider’s slipstream.

Loser: Francesco Bagnaia
Bagnaia started the weekend well — he had a strong qualifying session. But things quickly went downhill.
In the sprint race, his teammate passed him quickly and Bagnaia’s rear tyre wore out before the end. In the main race, he made a mistake at the start but got a second chance when the race was restarted. He even briefly led the race, but got into a battle with his teammate Marc Márquez. Both ran wide at the same corner and lost positions. While Marc recovered and reached the podium, Bagnaia crashed out of the race.

Winner: Marco Bezzecchi
Marco Bezzecchi won the race, showing big improvement since Le Mans. At Silverstone, he started from 11th place. His performance in Saturday’s sprint was strong — he finished 4th. On Sunday, he chose the soft tyre, which turned out to be the perfect decision.
He didn’t rush to the front but calmly passed riders as they made mistakes. His smart strategy helped him secure the win.

Loser: Fermín Aldeguer
After showing great pace at Le Mans, Aldeguer had a tough time at Silverstone. He qualified in 5th place, which was impressive, but he made mistakes in both races.
In the sprint, he dropped down the order. Later, when he tried to pass Pedro Acosta on the last lap, he crashed into him and finished 14th.
On Sunday, Aldeguer was doing okay early in the race, but then ran off the track, dropping to 15th place. Still, he didn’t give up and recovered to finish 8th.

Winner: Soft Front Tyre
Even though it’s not a rider or a manufacturer, the soft front tyre played a crucial role this weekend.
Riders had to choose between the soft tyre, which gave good grip and warmed up quickly, or the medium tyre, which lasted longer.
In the end, the soft tyre clearly worked best and helped several riders perform strongly.
