Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup leader Jorge Martín extended his advantage at Silverstone with a clean-sweep across a pair of hard-fought races.

Martín won two races to claim 25 points on Saturday, with the race being interrupted by rain. The 16-year-old Spaniard was on pole after being quickest all through practice and resisted the most intense pressure from his very able opposition in both races.

Martin extended his points lead over countryman Joan Mir, who finished second ahead of Italian Stefano Manzi who picked up his sixth P3 of the season – the same position he holds in the points table.

Winning by six seconds instead of six centimetres did not seem to make that much difference to Martín on Sunday as he made it a British Grand Prix double with a dominant, start-to-finish, victory.

Finally some sunshine graced the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup and it was Manzi who led Dutchman Bo Bendsneyder to claim the remaining rostrum places after an intense seven-man battle.

It was a mixed weekend for Australia’s Olly Simpson, who had a DNF on Saturday but bounced back for seventh on Sunday – right in the running for a podium position – and is now 10th in the title chase.
