Can Garcia defend from Ogura as Silverstone kicks off the second half?

As we land into the second half of the season, Sergio Garcia’s (MT Helmets – MSI) lead in the Moto2™ Championship stands at seven points after teammate Ai Ogura secured his fourth podium in five races with a P3, as the former had to settle for a lowkey P7 – his worst result of the year.

He’ll want to stamp his authority back on proceedings as we get back on track.

Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing), while nursing his fractured right collarbone, salvaged a highly commendable P8 at the Sachsenring to limit the title race points damage. The American is 24 points down on Garcia ahead of the British GP, where he’ll start the weekend pretty much back to full fitness following the summer.

Elsewhere, Assen and Germany were – much needed – strong rounds for Fermin Aldeguer (SpeedUp Racing). A P2 in the Netherlands was followed by a dominant victory in Germany, as the #54 returns to the venue he claimed his maiden win at in 2023. A repeat will go down nicely, with Aldeguer needing to continue clawing points back on the top three to reel himself back into the title frame.

Silverstone signals a homecoming for Jake Dixon (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) and after two podiums in the last four outings, including a strong P2 finish in Germany, the run up to the summer break will have given the Briton a nice injection of confidence as Dixon aims to stand on the British GP rostrum for a second time.

Tune in to see the stunning Triumph-powered Moto2™ machines take on Silverstone this weekend, with the intermediate class out at the later time of 14:30 (UTC+1), after the MotoGP™ race.
