Overview
- Bezzecchi has had operations on a broken collarbone and a knee and says he is not yet fully fit as he prepares to ride at Silverstone.
- He tested a bike one day before arriving at the circuit but must pass a MotoGP medical check before he can race on Friday.
- A disciplinary ban from the Czech Grand Prix followed an incident in Hungary when he slapped a marshal after a crash.
- After winning the first three races of 2026 he went pointless in four events and has fallen from championship leader to fourth.
- Silverstone has secured the British GP through 2028 and the outcome of Bezzecchi’s clearance will affect a tightly grouped title fight led by Jorge Martin with Marc Márquez close behind.
