Marquez wins Silverstone GP
Silverstone, England: Runaway
world championship leader Marc Marquez made it 11 wins from 12 races this season on Sunday as he won the British MotoGP at Silverstone. The 21year- old Spanish Honda rider —
who on Saturday claimed his 10th pole position of the campaign — prevailed in a stunning duel with compatriot and twotime world champion Jorge
Lorenzo on a Yamaha. Lorenzo’s teammate Italian legend Valentino Rossi was third in
what was a record 246th MotoGP appearance while Marquez’s fellow Honda rider Dani Pedrosa, who won the Czech GP last time out, was fourth. It was the third successive race Yamaha had filed the
minor podium placings. Marquez has 288 points with Pedrosa, who signed a two year
extension with Honda.
