Francesco Bagnaia
After a somewhat slow start in the early weeks of the 2024 MotoGP season, the 2022 and 2023 MotoGP world champion, is dominating and looks like he could be on his way to a third straight MotoGP world championship. The 27-year-old opened the year with a win in Qatar, but then did not finish in Portugal. He then placed fifth in America. Since then, Bagnaia has been on a roll, winning the past four MotoGP races.
Bagnaia has performed well at the British GP. In his first start as a MotoGP rider in 2019, he finished 11th, and then he placed 14th in 2021. He won in 2022 and finished second to Aleix Espargaro last year.
Bagnaia is in first place in the MotoGP points race heading into this week with 222 points.
Jorge Martin
Jorge Martin was leading the German GP when he crashed near the end of the race. Despite the crash, Martin, who has sometimes been criticized for his aggression, doesn’t plan on reigning things in. “When you have a crash I try to analyze to understand why it happened and improve for next time,” Martin said after the finish that dropped him to second place in the standings. “But I think that until that moment I was the strongest in Germany so I have to keep the same mentality and try to keep the same type of riding and try to be aggressive and be fastest.”
The 26-year-old, who is 10 points behind Bagnaia, has started the British GP three times and finished twice. He placed fifth in 2022 and sixth last year.
Martin has two wins in 2024, two runner-up finishes, and two third-place finishes. He has not finished two races this season.
Marc Marquez
Heading into the 2024 MotoGP season, the biggest concerns for the legendary Marc Marquez were his health and how he would perform with his new team. After 11 years with Honda, the 30-year-old is now on a Ducati for Gresini Racing. As for his health, Marquez has started all nine MotoGP races in 2024, and outside of not finishing in America, placing 16th in Portugal, and finishing in 10th in the Netherlands, Marquez has been among the top four finishers in his other five starts during the 2024 MotoGP season. However, Marquez is still looking for his first win of 2024. The last time Marquez won a MotoGP race was in 2021, when he placed first three times before finishing the year in the No. 7 spot in the standings. He has finished as the runner-up three times this year, including in Germany.
Marquez had one win in the British GP, which came in 2014. He did not finish the race in his past two starts, 2021 and 2023.
Marquez is in third place in the 2024 points race with 166.
Best bet to win 2024 Monster Energy British Grand Prix
Betting favorite, Francesco Bagnaia does not present the best betting value heading into this weekend’s British GP. However, the defending MotoGP champion has been a dominant force in 2024 and has a history of performing well at the Silverstone Circuit. The betting pick is for Francesco Bagnaia to win the 2024 MotoGP British Grand Prix.
