Gresini Ducati MotoGP rider Alex Marquez was fastest of all by 0.173s in opening practice for the MotoGP British Grand Prix ahead of the returning Marco Bezzecchi.
The first round after the summer break takes place at Silverstone, which has seen 11 different winners in the last 11 editions of the British Grand Prix.
Alex Marquez will be looking to add his name to that list this weekend, having taken a sprint victory previously at the former RAF airbase.

He got his weekend off to the best start on the Gresini Ducati, posting a 1m58.692s to lead the field by 0.173s.
The younger Marquez brother headed the leading Aprilia of Marco Bezzecchi, who is making his comeback following a collarbone injury in Germany ahead of the summer break.
Last year’s British Grand Prix winner completed 13 laps on his RS-GP and was faster than KTM’s Pedro Acosta, who was the only crasher in FP1.
Bezzecchi set the early pace at the start of the 45-minute FP1 at 2m01.807s, before Aprilia counterpart Raul Fernandez - fresh from signing a new two-year deal with Trackhouse - took over with a 1m59.807s.
Alex Marquez hit the front for the first time with just under 10 minutes of the session gone with a 1m59.436s, before Jorge Martin edged ahead on the sister factory team Aprilia with a 1m59.372s.
Gresini’s Marquez would post his session-topping 1m58.692s lap with around 30 minutes to go, and would not be challenged through to the chequered flag.
Bezzecchi moved up to second, while Acosta fitted some fresh rubber to move up to third with a 1m58.974s after a crash at Stowe with 20 minutes remaining.
Fernandez was fourth on the Trackhouse Aprilia, while Fabio Di Giannantonio was fifth on the VR46 Ducati.
Marc Marquez was sixth on the factory team Ducati, while Ai Ogura was only seventh on the Trackhouse Aprilia despite a switch to fresh medium rubber late on.

Championship leader Martin was eighth on a 1m59.372s, while Franco Morbidelli was ninth on the second of the VR46 Ducatis.
Pecco Bagnaia completed the top 10 on the second of the factory team Ducatis.
Joan Mir was Honda’s leading campaigner in 11th, while Fabio Quartararo led the Yamaha charge in 15th.
Gresini stand-in Iker Lecuona was 16th, while Pol Espargaro was 21st for Tech3 as he stands in for Pol Espargaro.
Home hero Cal Crutchlow was 22nd on the LCR Honda.

ENGLAND FOOTBALLER IVAN TONEY CHARGED OVER ASSAULT AT SOHO NIGHTCLUB

The England footballer will appear in Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 24 September
England footballer Ivan Toney has been charged with assault following an incident at a Soho nightclub in December, police have confirmed.
Toney, 30, of Northampton, was charged last Thursday with assault causing actual bodily harm in relation to an alleged incident which reportedly took place on 6 December last year at a nightclub on Wardour Street in London.
He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 24 September, Metropolitan Police have said.
A spokesperson for the footballer said: “Ivan acknowledges the charge and although he is naturally shocked, he looks forward to being given the opportunity to clear his name in court.”
The Sun newspaper reported on 8 December that Toney had been arrested after an alleged headbutt.
Toney, who used to play for Brentford, is currently a striker for the Saudi Pro League team Al-Ahli. The footballer returned from the United States last month where he was part of Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man Three Lions squad in the World Cup.
He replaced Harry Kane as striker in England's 6-4 win over France in the “bronze final” of the tournament. He was also brought on as a late substitute in the semi final match against Argentina.
The police force said in a statement: “A man has been charged with assault following a Met investigation.
“Ivan Toney, 30 (16.03.1996), of Northampton, was charged on Thursday, 31 July with assault causing actual bodily harm.
“He will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday, 24 September.
“The charge relates to an assault, which reportedly took place on 6 December 2025 at a nightclub on Wardour Street, W1.”

ABDULLAH SHAFIQUE BECOMES FIRST PAKISTANI BATTER IN 49 YEARS TO SCORE 150 IN WEST INDIES
Pakistan batter Abdullah Shafique has ended a 49-year wait by becoming the first Pakistani batter since 1977 to score more than 150 runs in a Test match in the West Indies.
Shafique struck a commanding 160 in the Port of Spain Test, playing a key role in Pakistan’s eight-wicket victory over the West Indies in the second Test.
The milestone placed Shafique in distinguished company in Pakistan’s Test history. Before him, Majid Khan was the last Pakistani batter to score 150 or more runs in a Test in the West Indies. He made 167 in Guyana in 1977.
Shafique’s innings also highlighted his growing impact in overseas Test cricket. Three of Pakistan’s last four individual scores of 150 or more in Test matches played outside the country have been recorded by the right-handed batter.
His 160 proved particularly valuable as Pakistan chased down the target comfortably to complete an eight-wicket win in Port of Spain.
The victory also marked another significant overseas Test success for Pakistan. The national side had last won a Test series away from home in 2023, when it defeated Sri Lanka in a two-match series.
Shafique’s latest century-plus performance will therefore be remembered as both a personal milestone and an important contribution to Pakistan’s success in the Caribbean.

VINICIUS JR AGREEMENT CONFIRMES AS DECISION BETWEEN ARSENAL, REAL MADRID MADE
Vinicius Junior has reached an agreement, with Arsenal and Real Madrid learning who the Brazil superstar will play for next season, according to a report.
On the back of lifting their first Premier League title in over two decades, Arsenal sought to attack the transfer market to help launch a dynasty.
Bruno Guimarães is arriving to the tune of £75m and the Brazilian has passed a medical. Personal terms are already sealed.
However, The Gunners aimed to sign an even higher profile Brazil international in the form of Real Madrid winger, Vinicius Junior.
The 26-year-old is in the final year of his contract at the Bernabeu and Real Madrid have no intention of losing such a highly valuable asset to free agency next summer.
As such, only two outcomes appeared to be in play – Vinicius re-signs at Real or joins Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta’s side made a huge play for Vinicius, with the Spaniard personally contacting the winger to discuss his role at the Emirates.
Arsenal also made it crystal clear they were fully prepared to demolish their wage structure and make Vinicius Junior by far their highest paid player ever.
However, the player’s preference always remained re-signing with Real Madrid. And on Wednesday, a crunch round of talks between he, his agents and the LaLiga giant took place.
While no agreement was struck at that time, Ben Jacobs and Fabrizio Romano were among many more trusted sources to stress Vinicius was now likely to remain a Madridista.
Ben Jacobs wrote on X: ‘Understand Real Madrid are confident this evening that Vinicius Jr will extend after productive talks.’
Fabrizio Romano took to the same platform when stating: ‘Real Madrid are increasingly confident to receive final green light from Vinicius Jr on new contract.
‘New proposal being discussed but Madrid optimistic and Vini Jr’s camp also positive after today’s meeting. José Mourinho also got involved.’
He subsequently added: José Mourinho, personally involved in Vinicius Jr new contract discussions as he’s been pushing for the Brazilian to stay.
‘Real Madrid are confident, José told the club he wants Vini to stay and also told Vini about plans for him to continue.’
Vinicius Junior agrees new contract at Real Madrid
And on Thursday morning, Spanish reporter, Ramon Alvarez de Mon, claimed an agreement has now been struck that will see Vinicius sign a contract extension at the Bernabeu, thus ending Arsenal’s hopes.
The reporter, who boasts over 300,000 followers on X: wrote: ‘Vinicius and Real Madrid reach an agreement for his contract renewal, which is expected to be signed soon.’
Missing out on Vinicius Junior will be a painful blow to Arsenal who have already tried and failed to sign another major name for the left side this summer – Morgan Rogers.
The Gunners could now reignite interest in PSG’s Bradley Barcola, though there could be more heartache for the Gunners.
Barcola is Liverpool’s top target and according to Jacobs, the Frenchman will prioritise signing for Liverpool over Arsenal if both clubs strike a deal with PSG…

Organisers have added an additional category to the on-track program titled GT1 Race Club presented by GG Classic Cars.
It was teased during Wednesday night’s event launch through the unveiling of an $8 million Pagani Huayra R Evo Roadster.
High-end exotica from manufacturers including Bugatti and Ferrari are also said to be part of the program.
GT1 Race Club is backed by international GT racing promoter the SRO Motorsports Group.
Adelaide is yet to confirm details on the format, although is promoting it as a “race feature” and a “competitive event”.
The event schedule released last month included six slots across the four days for a ‘feature challenge’.
Event director Shaun Bennetts trumpeted the addition at the launch event.
“Adelaide has always been a place where special racing cars belong,” he said.
“From the Formula 1 era through to Supercars, GT racing and international demonstrations, this circuit has hosted some of the most significant competition cars ever brought to Australia.
“In 2026 we will continue that tradition with the GT1 Race Club presented by GG Classic Cars.
“The GT1 Race Club will bring together an exceptional collection of track focused hypercars from leading manufacturers and specialist race car constructors.”
Details of eligibility, entries and participating cars and drivers are yet to be confirmed.
The Wednesday night launch also featured the premiere of a new commercial for the November 26-29 event featuring Hollywood star Eric Bana.

WOLFF WEIGHS IN AMID MERCEDES AND MCLAREN MCL40 UPGRADE STAND-OFF
 |
| Toto Wolff gave his verdict on McLaren winning the Hungarian Grand Prix |
The McLaren resurgence in Hungary has sparked a debate over exactly how much of a role the MCL40 upgrade package played.
Mercedes’ Simone Resta suggested that more was behind the McLaren result. Andrea Stella said the upgrades alone sparked McLaren’s return to the F1 summit. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has weighed in, claiming a clear step forward for McLaren. Yet, he also pointed to McLaren’s recent impressive record at the Hungaroring.
Toto Wolff declares McLaren step, but…
McLaren’s revisions for its MCL40 in Budapest included a revised floor body design, rear wing endplate and rear corner winglets.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri went on to contend for the victory. After a Carlos Sainz collision and later a gearbox failure, Piastri was eliminated from the race, as Norris drove on to an impressive win.
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella told PlanetF1.com and others post-race that “the improvement, from a competitiveness point of view, can be entirely ascribed to the upgrades that we took here.”
Mercedes deputy technical director Simone Resta was not so sure.
“The update package was certainly significant, and it must have contributed to their performance,” Resta said on the Nu Silver Arrows radio show.
“At the same time, if you look at the gap between their two cars, there was clearly more to it than the upgrade alone.
“Throughout the year we’ve seen McLaren perform very strongly, with the balance of performance between their two drivers varying from race to race.
“We’ve also seen strong performances from Lando several times this season.
“Budapest may simply have been one of those weekends where he found himself in a particularly good place with the car, the setup and tyre management. I think it was probably a combination of both factors.”
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has had his say. Similarly to Resta, he acknowledged that McLaren found performance with its upgrades.
But Wolff was also keen to stress the Hungaroring as a potential caveat.
McLaren has now won the last three Hungarian GPs.
“When you ask the artificial intelligence who would be the favourites in Budapest, the artificial intelligence is going to say McLaren, because they were the dominant team here in the last few years,” Wolff told PlanetF1.com and others.
“So definitely one of the good tracks for them, and not very good for us.
“So we need to be careful not to swing from everyone is suddenly competitive, to a team is suddenly not competitive.
“I think they’ve definitely done a step. They are in the fight. We haven’t brought an upgrade for some time, and you can see that this is going to be a development fight also going forward.”

BABAR AZAM EQUALS IMRAN KHAN'S HISTORIC PAKISTAN RECORD
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Test captain Babar Azam has equalled a historic record previously held by former captain Imran Khan after being named the joint Player of the Series in the two-match Test series against the West Indies.
Pakistan defeated the West Indies by eight wickets in the second Test to level the series 1-1.
Babar finished as the leading run-scorer of the series, scoring 193 runs in four innings at an impressive average of 96.50. He shared the Player of the Series award with West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves.
The award was Babar’s first Player of the Series honor in Test cricket and his 10th overall in international cricket, allowing him to equal the Pakistan record jointly held by Imran Khan and Wasim Akram.
Before this, Babar had won five Player of the Series awards in T20 Internationals and four in One-Day Internationals.
Most Player of the Series Awards for Pakistan
Babar’s latest achievement places him alongside two of Pakistan’s greatest cricketers, Imran Khan and Wasim Akram, as the joint record-holder for the most Player of the Series awards in Pakistan’s international cricket history.

MARK CARNEY SLAMS GIANNI INFANTINO, SAYS HE HAS NO CONFIDENCE IN FIFA PRESIDENT
World soccer boss made 'fatal' error in trying to quietly sell off stake in future World Cup tournaments: PM

Add Prime Minister Mark Carney to the list of people who have lost faith in embattled FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
The Liberal leader made the comments during a news conference in Toronto on Wednesday, telling reporters that Infantino made a “fatal” error in trying to quietly sell off a stake in future World Cup tournaments to private investors that included the Kushner family.
“I’ve run a few organizations in my time,” Carney said weeks after Canada co-hosted the World Cup with the U.S. and Mexico. “The idea that proper governance is not to disclose to your closest advisers, your chief operating officer, your fellow board members, something of consequence that you’re even considering — let alone proposing — that’s fatal, should be fatal and you lose confidence in that individual.
“They (FIFA) have their own procedures for making those determinations, but certainly I don’t have confidence in Mr. Infantino after this point given what transpired and given the nature of what transpired.”
‘Offensive’ investment plan sparks backlash
Carney’s comments referred to the ongoing backlash over Infantino’s now-scrapped FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal, which was made public last week with a plan to create a commercial subsidiary to run events such as the World Cup and Club World Cup tournaments.
The proposal was based on the premise that FIFA could raise more than $4 billion by selling off a 20% stake in the enterprise based on a valuation of $20 billion with Thrive Eternal – a subsidiary of Thrive Capital, which is owned by the brother of Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner – expected to spearhead private investment.
FIFA received immediate backlash over the proposal with soccer governing bodies and world leaders among those expressing their displeasure. UEFA, Europe’s powerful soccer governing body, vowed to boycott future events and member nations also threatened to pull their support for Infantino, who is seeking a fourth and final term as president in 2027.
Even after FIFA discarded the plan, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Monday that Infantino was not the “right man to lead football forward on the world stage.
“The plan that was put forward was offensive to many people, football people around the world, and it can’t be the case that we just move on and forget that,” Burnham said.
‘Full support’ for Infantino at FIFA meetings?
Despite the backlash, FIFA issued a statement on Wednesday saying secretary general Mattias Grafstrom and members of the management board attending meetings in Rabat, Morocco, had expressed “full support” for Infantino’s leadership.
The reference to Grafstrom was notable as an internal email sent by him to FIFA staff seemed to distance himself from Infantino, AFP reported, while calling the FFE fiasco a “sad and reproachable series of events.”
The statement from FIFA said the FFE proposal was discussed at the meetings, mistakes “were acknowledged” and apologized for and a commitment was made to “ensure they do not happen again.
“It was agreed that it was not the intention for the FIFA council and FIFA member associations to feel excluded from the process and that the process should have been handled differently,” the statement said, vowing a review of the events. “It was further acknowledged that errors were also made after the proposal was leaked to media.”
There was no mention, however, of a report from The Athletic that said U.S. World Cup host cities were chasing FIFA for alleged “legacy” payments of $1 million that had been promised to them privately in addition to similar benefits paid out from the 2025 Club World Cup.
The U.S. cities that hosted matches this year included Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle.
Toronto and Vancouver also hosted games, but a statement from the City of Toronto said they were “not eligible” for the payments.

NEWCASTLE UNITED ANNOUNCE MATTHIAS JAISSLE AS SUCCESSOR TO EDDIE HOWE
Newcastle United have announced the hiring of Matthias Jaissle as the club’s new head coach after the departure of Eddie Howe late last month.
Jaissle, 38, was mentioned as the new boss on the same day as the first reports of Howe’s departure.
“When Newcastle United comes your way, you take notice,” Jaissle said in a statement on Newcastle’s web site. “The ambition of the club, the vision for the future and the opportunity ahead made this an incredibly compelling place to be.”
Jaissle’s playing days were spent largely at Hoffenheim, where he was a back. He started in management with Liefering in 2021, soon taking over for Jesse Marsch at Red Bull Salzburg, where he led the side to its first Champions League knockout phase. He won the Austrian Bundesliga in both of his seasons there, then went to Al-Ahli and won consecutive Asian Champions League Elite trophies.
“My teams are built on togetherness, hard work, intensity and a passion to improve every single day. I will bring full commitment, full energy and a determination to give everything I have to help this club achieve its ambitions.”
Newcastle have four friendlies in the next 12 days, higher-profile affairs with Valencia, Everton, Bayer Leverkusen, and Strasbourg. They opener their Premier League season at home to Liverpool on August 23.
Jaissle and his new club have a lot to do to hit the ground running, as Newcastle looks set to lose Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal after selling Sandro Tonali to Spurs and Anthony Gordon to Barcelona.
What they said: Newcastle, Jaissle on hiring
(from newcastleunited.com)
Newcastle CEO David Hopkinson: “We have conducted a thorough process, and he has emerged as the clear candidate for the role. He possesses all the qualities we were looking for.
“His track record of success, leadership qualities and relentless drive to improve make him an exceptional fit for Newcastle United. We believe he is the right person to lead the club into the next phase of our journey.”
Newcastle sporting director Ross Wilson: “Matthias’ leadership style and football philosophy are strongly aligned with our sporting vision. His teams play high-energy football and we could feel his passion during all of our discussions throughout the recruitment process.
“He has consistently demonstrated an ability to improve players, build cohesive teams and create elite performance environments in his coaching career.”
New Newcastle head coach Matthias Jaissle: “I am incredibly excited about the future. I fully and unreservedly believe in this project, the ambition and the direction the club is taking. There is a clear vision, strong leadership and an exceptional platform to build on. ... I believe there is enormous potential within this squad and throughout the football club. I am excited to work with the players, staff and leadership team to help take the club forward.
“I cannot wait to get started and will attack this opportunity. I give my complete commitment and total energy to bringing further success to Newcastle United.”

DR. FAUCI'S LAWYER FIRES BACK AT AARON RODGERS OVER HIS COMMENTS ON PAT MCAFEE SHOW
 |
| IMAGN IMAGES VIA REUTERS CONNECT |
Dr. Fauci’s lawyer is firing back at Aaron Rodgers.
Earlier this week, Rodgers went viral when he trashed Fauci for pleading the Fifth during a recent congressional hearing during a segment on ESPN’s Pat McAfee show.
“I’m gonna plead the 5th. Like that absolute coward Tony Fauci. Absolute coward. Are you kidding me? What are you scared of Tony? I thought you were the science?” Rodgers said.
“How much time did the network spend on that? How much time did they spend on my responses every week? On my vaccination status? On Taylor and Travis’ wedding? Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci?”
Dr. Fauci’s lawyer, David Schertler, saw Rodgers’ comments and issued a statement to Saad Yousuf of The Athletic: “Aaron Rodgers doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He should stick to football.”
While Rodgers’ comments have angered ESPN execs, the Steelers will not punish him for them.
“Discussions around culture and politics can bring differing perspectives, and our players are entitled to their own personal views,” Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports. “With respect to that, I am certain there are a variety of opinions on many topics within our locker room.”
It’ll be interesting to see if Rodgers responds to Fauci’s lawyer.

REAL MADRID LEGEND IMPLORES 'DECEITFUL' GIANNI INFANTINO TO RESIGN AS FIFA PRESIDENT
Infantino is under immense pressure after his foiled plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors

Luis Figo has implored Gianni Infantino to resign as pressure mounts on the much-criticised Fifa president following his foiled attempts to sell stakes in the World Cup.
Infantino was forced to abandon his plans – namely to sell stakes in the World Cup and other Fifa tournaments to private investors – after public uproar last week, with Uefa confirming a boycott of Fifa events if the plan was voted through.
On Tuesday, Jordan FA president Prince Ali bin Hussein accused Infantino of “blackmail” and, under immense pressure, the Fifa boss has called a meeting with senior leaders of world football’s governing body on Wednesday.
Real Madrid and Portugal legend Figo, who stood to be Fifa president in 2015 before withdrawing prior to the election won by Sepp Blatter (who made way for Infantino a year later), has now branded the various actions of Infantino as the “lowest, most deceitful and cravenly self-interested behaviour I have ever witnessed” in a stinging column for the Daily Mail.
Figo, who works as an adviser for Uefa, said: “I could write 10,000 words on the problems at Fifa. But the solution needs only three: Infantino must go.
“I have loved football all my life. I was a professional player for 20 years. And believe me, I have met some rogues in my time in the game. But what I have seen exposed in the last 10 days is the lowest, most deceitful and cravenly self-interested behaviour I have ever witnessed.
“The man who would do that – the man who would try to force through such major changes just to enrich himself and his friends – is a relic of the game’s past and should have no part in its future.”
Figo then listed the “litany of abuses” Infantino has enacted in recent months, including the Folarin Balogun debacle at the World Cup and extending the half-time break of the World Cup final for a musical show.
“Infantino has debased the office of Fifa president that he promised to elevate,” Figo added. “He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve.
“He has lost the support of his senior staff, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the Fifa Peace Prize winner [Donald Trump].
“It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.”
Fifa secretary general Mattias Grafstrom criticised Infantino’s plans to sell stakes in an internal memo, while ex-Arsenal manager and Fifa’s chief of global football development Arsene Wenger said abandoning the proposals was “absolutely necessary and beyond question.”
The Football Association of Wales have withdrawn support for Infantino’s re-election next year, with the Football Association set to follow. Infantino will now be looking to argue his case and secure his position at Wednesday’s crucial meeting in Morocco.
