MotoGP British GP: Live commentary and updates from Silverstone

But as they say, past performance is no guarantee of future success. So let's hope we have a cracking battle at the front of the field today.

Meanwhile, Ducati has been reduced to the second-best manufacturer in Britain, with Silverstone's fast-and-flowing layout not suiting the Desmosedicis. Alex Marquez was the best Ducati rider in fourth, while his brother Marc Marquez could only manage ninth after suffering from a strange tyre drop off late in the race.

However, it wasn't a perfect day for Aprilia, with Raul Fernandez crashing out on lap 4 after a poor start from second on the grid

Let's do a quick recap of the weekend so far. Aprilia has been the dominant manufacturer at Silverstone, with factory rider Marco Bezzecchi topping practice on Friday and his team-mate Jorge Martin claiming pole position and the sprint win on Saturday. In fact, Martin led a 1-2-3 for Aprilia on Saturday afternoon, the first for the Noale brand in a sprint race. 

We hope you all had a wonderful summer break, and are ready for some exciting two-wheel racing today
