Alex Marquez beats brother Marc in British MotoGP sprint
Alex Marquez took the family bragging rights over older brother Marc in the British MotoGP sprint race at Silverstone on Saturday.
Fabio Di Giannantonio (Duvati-VR46) took third at the seventh race weekend of the 2025 season with Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) in fourth.
Alex Marquez, on a Ducati satellite Gresini bike, finally topped the podium after finishing second in all six previous Saturday sprints.
It moved the Spaniard to within 19 points of Marc Marquez ahead of Sunday's main event.
"We did everything in the best possible way, even if the start wasn't the best," said the winner of the 10-lap dash who set off from second on the grid.
Marquez senior, who qualified in fourth and led the sprint early on, said: "I took risks on the first lap because from the second row on the grid, it was the right thing to do".
"Then I made a mistake (on the second lap) which played into the hands of Alex," added the six-time elite class champion.
Former two-time world champion Francesco Bagnaia (sixth on Saturday), the Ducati factory teammate of Marc Marquez, is placed third in the standings, 56 points off the lead.
France's Fabio Quartararo, who had earlier taken his third successive pole with a new Silverstone lap record, had to settle for seventh on his Yamaha.
His compatriot, Johann Zarco, came in fifth after his Le Mans heroics when he became the first home rider to win the French MotoGP since 1954 a fortnight ago.
