  • Marc Marquez is the 5/2 favourite with bet365 to win this weekend's British MotoGP
  • The race comes with the championship battle tightly poised, with just 22 points separating the top four riders in the standings
  • Marco Bezzecchi and Ai Ogura follow as the next shortest prices, both firmly in championship contention themselves

Title Race Adding Extra Edge To Silverstone

MotoGP's visit to Britain always brings a raucous home crowd and plenty of on-track drama, and this year's edition arrives with the added intrigue of a genuinely tight championship battle. 

UK betting sites have Marc Marquez as the man to beat this weekend, with Bet365 pricing him up as a clear 5/2 favourite. 

With so much still to play for in the standings, this looks set to be one of the more significant rounds of the season so far.

What makes Marquez's position as favourite particularly interesting is that he currently sits third in the championship, 18 points behind leader Jorge Martin.

The Championship Picture Heading Into The Weekend

The Drivers Championship standings themselves paint a picture of a genuinely open title fight. 

Jorge Martin leads on 208 points, just 14 clear of Ai Ogura in second, with Marquez a further four points back in third on 190. 

Marco Bezzecchi isn't far behind either, sitting fourth on 186 points, meaning the top four riders are separated by just 22 points with a significant portion of the season still to play out. 

That level of competitiveness at the top makes every race weekend increasingly important, and Silverstone arrives at a crucial moment in proceedings.

The Rest Of The Grid

Further down the market, Alex Marquez is priced at 9/2, while championship leader Jorge Martin, despite his position at the top of the standings, is available at 6/1 for this individual race. 

Raul Fernandez follows at 11/1, with Fabio Di Giannantonio and Pedro Acosta both trading at 12/1, rounding out a field packed with genuine race-winning potential even at the longer end of the market.

Where To Bet On The British MotoGP

Bet365 currently offer one of the more comprehensive markets on this weekend's race, though it's always worth comparing prices across a wider range of betting sites before placing a bet, particularly with the championship battle adding extra unpredictability to proceedings. 

Some operators are also running free bets for new customers, which is worth exploring if you haven't backed a MotoGP market before.
