Championship drama in the British GP as Marquez retires and ‘DesmoDovi’ wins
Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) became the first man to win four races this season, as the Championship challenger put on a tactical masterclass once again. In a close second but unable to make a last lap lunge was Maverick Viñales (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP), with early leader Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) completing the podium.
As well as the podium finishers, the standings took a shake up as Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda Team) was forced to retire.
