The opening lap of the 2025 MotoGP British Grand Prix was a huge shock for the fans as Alex Marquez crashed on the outside of the turn after getting a great start against Quartararo and Marc Marquez. The disaster didn't end there as Franco Morbidelli and Aleix Espargaro also crashed near the village corner.
Within 2 laps, race leader Marc Marquez crashed out of the race, and the race was red-flagged as the organisers found an oil spillage on the track. As only 2 laps are completed, all the riders are eligible for the restart.
Alex Marquez would be a very happy man, as he thought the chances of taking the championship lead were shattered on lap 1. Now with a new bike, Alex Marquez will have one more chance to win the British MotoGP race. Let us watch the crashes one by one.
