| Alex Marquez Emerges as a Top Contender at the 2025 British GP, Ready to Challenge for Victory. |
This weekend’s MotoGP British Grand Prix at Silverstone is shaping up to be exciting, especially with Alex Marquez stepping into the spotlight. Riding for Gresini Ducati, Alex is seen as a serious threat as he aims to close the points gap in the 2025 MotoGP championship standings.
So far this season, Alex has been one of the fastest riders on the grid. He’s even led the championship twice, showing strong consistency. One of his career highlights came at last year’s Spanish GP, where he took his first MotoGP victory by taking advantage of his brother Marc Marquez crashing out early from a podium spot.
However, it hasn’t been smooth sailing all the way. At the recent French GP in wet conditions at Le Mans, Alex crashed and lost valuable points, which now puts him 22 points behind his older brother Marc in the championship race.
Heading into Silverstone, Marc believes the fast-flowing nature of the British track suits Alex’s riding style perfectly. “We’ve shown good speed at all the circuits,” Marc said. “Qatar was a key race for me, and now at Silverstone, I expect Alex to be super fast there.”
Marc added that Silverstone’s layout, with its flowing corners, should be better for Alex compared to the tricky wet conditions at Le Mans. “It normally fits his riding style better,” he said.
Marc’s goal is to stay close to the top riders and to test the improvements they worked on during the Jerez test. “Let’s see if Silverstone works out, since it’s a completely different track and requires a unique riding style.”
Alex has a solid record at Silverstone on the Gresini Ducati. Last year, he finished sixth in the sprint race and seventh in the main race. In 2023, he impressed by winning the sprint race in wet conditions, marking one of his best Saturday performances.
Even back in 2021, during a tough season on the Honda with LCR, Silverstone was a highlight, as Alex finished eighth — one of his better results that year.
For MotoGP fans, Silverstone is definitely a race to watch, especially to see how Alex Marquez pushes to close the gap and fight for a victory.
