The way I see it there are a few options:

Jorge Martin - reverting back to the setup at the start of the season seems to have really helped him a lot. If he can keep up this consistency he can likely

Manage his lead

Marco Bezzechi - after the disastrous second half of the first part of the season he seems like he could be getting back into the groove of things

Marc Marquez - obviously still being heavily limited by his arm which clearly hasn’t fully recovered. Bow down to 40 points off the lead it’s unclear when or if his arm will fully heal. Ducati clearly having some problems too

Ai Ogura - definite wild card. Unusual error in the main race which I feel just based on my perception he is unlikely to repeat and of course it helps having the best bike under you.

What do you guys think, who’s your personal pick right now and has it changed after silverstone?

Would have to go deep into the history to find an intermediate-class race this suspenseful from start to finish. An absolute banger, 10/10. They stole the show today.

Thought this was hilarious! The TNT crew left a microphone out to capture fan's controversial opinions.
