MotoGP British GP: Jorge Martin leads Aprilia front-row lockout in qualifying

Jorge Martin edged Raul Fernandez by 0.021s in a last-lap effort to win MotoGP pole for the British Grand Prix, delivering Aprilia’s front-row lockout. Fernandez appeared set to top qualifying for the first time in his career after lowering Marco Bezzecchi’s Silverstone circuit record on his final run, but Martin produced a late upset with a best time of 1:56.160 to secure his second pole of the 2026 campaign. The session saw multiple changes at the top, including Alex Marquez breaking into the 1m57s bracket before Marc Marquez ended first runs sixth in the end. Ai Ogura finished third, with Fabio Di Giannantonio fourth and Bezzecchi fifth.
