MotoGP heads to Silverstone for the seventh round of the 2025 championship, and there is still a lot to play for in the series.
Marc Marquez comes into the race with three wins, but he has missed out in the last two races at Spain and France.
The Spaniard will be hopeful that he can have a good qualifying session to put himself in contention, although Silverstone’s track record for producing new winners every season since 2013 could impact him.
Alex Marquez will be looking for a second victory this season, while several other recent podium sitters could find themselves at the top of the podium.
With that in mind, MotoGP News has predicted who they think will win the race, the biggest surprise, and the biggest disappointment.

What is the weather forecast for the 2025 British Grand Prix?
It looks like there is a chance for rain on both Saturday and Sunday. Rain is set to hit Silverstone on Saturday after lunch, while there is a high chance of rain in the morning on Sunday.
The rest of the weekend should be dry, with temperatures reaching highs of 19°C on Friday.
Who will start on pole for the 2025 British Grand Prix?
Rory Mitchell: Alex Marquez – Although Fabio Quartararo has the momentum with two poles in a row at Spain and France, Marquez seems like the obvious choice for a new British GP winner. There hasn’t been a back-to-back winner of the British GP since 2013, but Marquez has experience of taking the victory when he won the Sprint in 2023. A pole would surely send him on his way…
Who will win the 2025 British Grand Prix?
Shay Rogers: Fermin Aldeguer – The British weather is great at throwing up an unexpected situation, and with a different winner every year since 2015, this weekend’s British Grand Prix will continue to follow that pattern. It’s the last race that Fermin Aldeguer can officially become the youngest winner in MotoGP history, so why wouldn’t he win this weekend?
He secured his maiden podium last time out at Le Mans in mixed conditions and has steadily been improving with every Grand Prix. This weekend, he’s going to burst onto the scene and surprise a lot of people…
Who will be the biggest surprise of the 2025 British Grand Prix?
Tyler Rowlinson: Jack Miller – Yamaha have seen serious improvements in the last two races, with Fabio Quartararo taking pole at Jerez and Le Mans. The rain forecast at the British Grand Prix presents another opportunity for the manufacturer to have a strong weekend, particularly with Jack Miller.
The Aussie is on a torrid run of form, retiring from the last three races. But he was very encouraging on the wet tyre at Le Mans, fighting at the front before crashing out.
Miller was ‘devastated’ after the race after he trusted Pramac’s call to start on wet tyres. Silverstone might give the 30-year-old another opportunity to take advantage of the tricky conditions, as he did in Austin with P5.
Miller has shown glimpses of his speed with Yamaha in 2025; this weekend will be the perfect chance to get back on form and cause another Zarco-esque surprise.
Who will be the biggest disappointment of the 2025 British Grand Prix?
Kyle Archer: Marc Marquez – Silverstone has seldom been a happy hunting ground for Marc Marquez in his MotoGP career, and the Ducati rider will likely face another disappointing British Grand Prix in 2025. Alex Marquez will likely hope his brother struggles, too, after his crash at Le Mans.
Alex slipped to 22 points behind Marc in the riders’ standings after retiring from the French Grand Prix. Yet Silverstone suits the Gresini star’s riding style more than his six-time premier class champion brother, who has not won at Silverstone since the 2014 British GP for Honda.
Marc Marquez can deliver great single-lap pace around Silverstone with five British GP pole positions to his name. The race has proven to be a different subject, though. The 32-year-old has crashed out of the British GP four times which marks his joint-most at any MotoGP race.
So, despite winning six Sprints plus three Grands Prix this year, even Marc Marquez expects to be behind Alex Marquez in the 2025 British GP. He has to overcome a circuit that he does not like to build his championship lead over his brother who likes the long, flowing corners.
