Silverstone MotoGP Rider Ratings: Perfect Bastianini bolts into title contention
ltxcn.top runs through the rider 🔯ratings for the 2024 British MotoGP at Silverstone.

Enea Bastianini - 10
A rare front-row appearance was all that Enea Bastianini needed to show his full potential as he powered to victory in the sprint. I💫n the main race, Bastianini was even more impressive as he delivered a performance reminiscent of 2022 when he won on four occasions. A win that puts him firmly in title contention, Bastianini gets a perfect score for his Silverstone showing.
Jorge Martin - 9
After leading the early stages of the sprint, Jorge Martin was eventually passed by Bastianini before claiming P2 and closing to within one point of Bagnaia in the championship. Leading Sunday's race with two laps remaining, Martin succumb to the pressure put on him by Bastianini as he gave away first place with an error at turn three. But the Pramac rider wꦡas still brilliant as he reg📖ained the championship lead.
Francesco Bagnaia - 7
First heading into turn one of the sprint, Francesco Bagnaia was very quickly dropped to P4 after his rear holeshot device failed to activate, keeping the bike much lower than it should have been. Trying to make a recovery and fight for the win, Bagnaia then made a big mistake as he tucked the front at t🦄urn four, crashing out as a result. Back to his best in the early stages of the grand prix, Bagnaia surprisingly had no answer for Martin and Bastianini during the final eight laps.
Marc Marquez - 8
A comfortable fourth heading into the final🌳 couple of laps of the 10-laps sprint, Marc Marquez saw his hopes of a good r🃏esult in the sprint washed away when he lost the front-end at turn 16. With the GP24 bikes too strong, Marquez bounced back from his mistake on Saturday to finish the top GP23 Ducati, and first rider off the podium.

Fabio Di Giannantonio - 7
A disappointing nin♌th in the sprint, Fabio Di Giannantonio's pace in the grand prix was brilliant as he finished the race fastest of all Ducati riders aboard the GP23 machine. Another solid top five for the Italian aft𓄧er a late move on Aleix Espargaro.
Aleix Espargaro - 8
Leading the field away in the sprint, Espargaro remained a contender throughout although he didn't have an🐼 answer for Bastianini or Martin in the closing stages, claiming P3 instead. In the main race, Espargaro looked t𒁃o be a contender for victory until struggling around mid-race. Instead the Aprilia rider slowly went backwards.
Alex Marquez - 7
The scene of his first-ever sprint win last s♏eason, Alex Marquez was strong throughout Saturday as he finished sixth in the sprint race. Continuing his strong weekend, Marquez nearly claimed a second P6 as he finished two tenths down on Espargaro.
Marco Bezzecchi - 6.5
After being taken out of the sprint at the first turn, Marco Bezzecchi, who was less than 100% delivered a very solid performance in the g𓆏rand prix to finish eighth.&nb🌠sp;
Pedro Acosta - 6
Not the race pace he would have wanted, Pedro Acosta qu💎ickly lost touch in the main race with the lead group as he suffered with tyre degradation late on.
Franco Morbidelli - 5
Following a poor qualifying result, Franco Morbidelli w﷽as too eager to bounce back in the sprint as he wiped out Marco Bezzecchi on the opening lap at turn one. The mistake resulted in a double Long Lap penalty for the Italian. Battling the Hondas for much of the GP, Morbidelli looked to be on course for a very disappointing result behiౠnd late pace saw him move up the order to claim P10.

Fabio Quartararo - 6.5
A miserable weekend for the 2021 world 🎐champion who expected a lot more from the M1, Fabio Quartararo's P18 in qualifying was a disaster before moving up to 11th in the sprint. Like Morbidelli, Quartararo had good pace late on as he finished ahead of riders that started much higher than him and had bi🌜kes with more performance.
Jack Miller - 6
A much impr🔥oved weekend in terms of performance, Jack Miller was close to Binder and Acosta in qualifying before a 𒆙strong seventh place finish in the Tissot sprint race. After running inside the top eight early on, Miller's charge in the grand prix faded as he ultimately dropped to P12.
Maverick Vinales - 4
On♌e of the biggest shocks of the weekend, Maverick Vinales's early pace on Friday materialised into very little. The Aprilia rider went backwards throughout Sunday's race, finishing a distant 13th.

Johann Zarco - 6.5
Performing🎐 very well on the Honda relative to the others, and the Japanese brand's difficulties, Johann🥃 Zarco secured points as he finished close to five second ahead of the next best RC213V machine.
Luca Marini - 5.5
A strong weekend again for Marini given Honda's issue, the Italian was battling hard as he claimed the fi𓆉nal point.
Takaaki Nakagami - 5
Unable to keep touch with Marini, Nakagami 🎀was a distant P16 as he managed to narrowly get the better of Augusto Fernandez.
Augusto Fernandez - 4
Showing no signs of turning his form around, Augusto 🌠Fernandez struggled aga🃏in throughout the weekend and was off the pace compared to the other three KTM riders.
Remy Gardner - 5
Another solid stand-in ride from the Australian who finished last of the c🌳ompleted runners.
Brad Binder - 7.5
Following early contact with fellow KTM rider Pedro Acosta, Brad Binder kept his coℱol in the sprint as he finished best-of-the-re꧃st behind the podium trio. Binder's hopes of another good result went up in flames straight away as he put his hands up to warn other riders he had an issue with his RC16. Binder didn't even make it to the first corner before realising something was wrong with his bike, leading to a DNF.
Raul Fernandez - 5
Although he showed speed throughout the weekend, a P12﷽ finish in the sprint was followed up by a collision in the main race with his team-mate leading to a crash and therefore non-finish.
Miguel Oliveira - 5
Like Fernandez,💎 Oliveira had the speed to contend for a good poin🌟ts haul but fell due to the accident with the Spaniard.
Joan Mir - 4.5
🎶A difficult🦩 weekend for 2020 MotoGP champion as he failed to finish yet another grand prix.
