Round 10 of the 2024 Moto2 World Championship takes the intermediate class to Silverstone. Moto2 Great Britain was won by Jake Dixon, who beat Aron Canet in a last lap battle.

Grand Prix

Jake Dixon secured his first Grand Prix victory of the season at the British Grand Prix, beating Aron Canet on the final lap.

Neither Dixon nor Canet led at the start, instead it was Ai Ogura who made the holeshot, but the pole sitter's race went away around half-distance, as his pace fell away and he slipped down the field.

As Ogura fell backwards, Dixon and Canet rose, and by the time Joe Roberts had had made his way into third they were pulling away at the front.

The battle behind them would be decided in the final laps, as Sergio Garcia came from 16th on the grid to fight with Celestino Vietti for third place. Vietti and Garcia met at around seventh place, as Garcia came forwards and Vietti slipped back. They then moved forwards, past the two Gresini riders - Albert Arenas and Manuel Gonzalez - and Husqvarna's Darryn Binder, before Vietti was finally able to clear Garcia and move clear in the final lap to secure third.

At the front, Dixon tailed Canet for almost the whole race, passing Canet only at the first turn on the final lap. A strong first half of the lap gave Dixon the gap he needed to hold onto what was his first win of the season.

Garcia was fourth, just off the podium, but put in a strong ride to increase his championship lead to 18 points over his MT Helmets MSI teammate, Ai Ogura, who finished down in 14th.

Manuel Gonzalez was fifth, ahead of Darryn Binder, Jeremy Alcoba, Albert Arenas, Alonso Lopez, and Senna Agius who completed the top 10.

Qualifying

Ai Ogura secured his first pole since 2022 in Moto2 qualifying for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, closely beating Aron Canet.

Canet had topped combined practice by 0.3 seconds, and so was favourite for pole, but Ogura - unlike the rest of the Boscoscuro riders - found speed in qualifying to take pole by just over 0.05 seconds.

Canet took second place, just ahead of Diogo Moreira, who beat Celestino Vietti to third. Vietti was fourth, ahead of Jake Dixon, while Albert Arenas came through Q1 to round out the second row.

Manuel Gonzalez was seventh-fastest, ahead of Bo Bendsneyder and Joe Roberts, while Alonso Lopez - the best of the Boscoscuro riders other than Ogura - completed the qualifying top 10. Sachsenring winner Fermin Aldeguer was 11th, and Tony Arbolino rounds out the fourth row.

Championship leader Sergio Garcia qualified 16th.

P2

Aron Canet was fastest once again in Moto2 P2, repeating his position of P1 on Friday afternoon.

Zonta van den Goorbergh was the closest rider to Canet, but almost 0.3 seconds behind the Fantic rider. Joe Roberts completed the top three, while Sergio Garcia and Jake Dixon rounded out the top five.

Somkiat Chantra was sixth, ahead of Diogo Moreira, Marcos Ramirez, and Manuel Gonzalez who completed the top 10.

The final four Q2 positions were taken by Alonso Lopez, Darryn Binder, Tony Arbolino, and Celestino Vietti, whose best time was set in P1.
