Picks and Predictions for the MotoGP British GP
Where: Silverstone Circuit, England
When: Sunday, August 7, 2022, 12pm GMT
Picks
Francesco Bagnaia: (Odds +275)
Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia is an Italian rider who rides bike number 63. He has won four pole positions this year and finished three of those four times in first position. He won in Assen before the break and is one of the favorites to win.
Fabio Quartararo: (Odds +275)
The reigning world champion leads the standings with 21 points. The French Yamaha rider withdrew from the last race in Holland. This season he has had 6 podiums, three of which were in first place and the other three in second place.
Aleix Espargaró: (Odds +275)
On the other hand, there is the Spaniard Aleix Espargaró. This rider won the GP of Argentina and has achieved 4 more podiums this year. All in third position in Portugal, Spain, France and Italy. Thus, the Aprilia rider is looking to regain his rhythm to win his second GP of the season this time.
Sleeper Picks
Maverick Viñales: (Odds +600)
Viñales is Espargaró’s teammate. Although he has not had the desired results this year, he did reach the podium on one occasion at the Dutch GP. However, in the GP before that, in Germany, he had to retire. He has 62 points and can be an important sleeper pick.
Alex Rins: (Odds +1100)
However, Spanish rider Alex Rins hasn’t had such a good season. He has retired from three of the eleven MotoGP races (France, Italy, and Catalonia) and finished tenth at the Dutch GP. However, he could spring a surprise at the MotoGP British Grand Prix.
Dark Horse
Joan Mir: (Odds +1200)
Finally, Joan Mir is our dark horse. He has also withdrew from six MotoGP races this season (Portugal, France, Italy, and Germany), with his best finish being fourth. He could, however, surprise in the 2022 British Grand Prix.
JefeBet Prediction
Now, our prediction for the 2022 MotoGP British GP is reigning champion Fabio Quartararo. Despite having competition among the circuit favorites, experience and familiarity will be the driver’s best friend in his chance to retain the English championship.
