The Silverstone circuit is buzzing with excitement as MotoGP riders gear up for the British Grand Prix. Miguel Oliveira, the Portuguese Yamaha rider, is making a strong comeback after a two-month injury layoff. In the second practice session, he shaved off significant time, going from 2:01.071 to 1:57.999, bringing him closer to a top 10 spot.
As the session wrapped up, Alex Márquez snatched the top spot from Quartararo with a new track record of 1:57.295. Meanwhile, Oliveira dropped from 9th to 13th, but his performance hints at a promising qualifying session. He’ll need to battle for one of the two spots in Q1 to advance to Q2.
Oliveira’s progress is a testament to his recovery. His teammate, Jack Miller, also had a stellar run, finishing third fastest with a +0.347 gap. Miller edged out Marc Márquez (+0.360) and Marco Bezzecchi (+0.372), who took fourth and fifth places, respectively.
