After the dust settled, Francesco Bagnaia explained his frustration after a disappointing day at Silverstone.
The Ducati rider started third on the grid and, for the first time this season, ahead of Marc Marquez.
But his team-mate overtook him in the first corner and went ahead alongside Alex Marquez, leaving the Italian two-time champion behind. Bagnaia said: “Qualifying went quite well, we got a good position on the front row, but from mid-race onwards it got really complicated.
