At the Monster Energy British Grand Prix we witnessed something that hadn’t happened since way back in 1968, a day which saw MotoGP™ Legend Giacomo Agostini win the Nations GP at the iconic Monza circuit. That something was five Italian manufacturers finishing in the top five of a premier class race, thanks to Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team), Maverick Viñales (Aprilia Racing), Jack Miller (Ducati Lenovo Team), Enea Bastianini (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) and Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing). The top four – including Bagnaia, Marco Bezzecchi (Mooney VR46 Racing Team), Viñales and Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing) – was also monopolised by Italy’s Aprilia and Ducati. Can both Ducati and Aprilia continue their fantastic form between now and the end of 2022?
