British MotoGP at Silverstone - what every rider said to the media

Here's the full lowdown from a feisty press conference where Jack Miller shut down a question aimed at his teammate, Pecco Bagnaia, about last month's drink driving incident.

"It is something I am working [towards]," the MotoGP champ admitted.

A reporter asked: "Pecco, if you had received a penalty from MotoGP or Ducati, like we've seen in other sports, would you have accepted it?"

Bagnaia and Miller both said: "For what?"

Miller said: "In what other sports?"

Miller added: "We are not talking about it. It is just bringing up negativity. You don't need to bring it up. He has said what he said. And that's it."

"I already said on my social channels what I was thinking about. It is now three or four weeks from that moment.

"It was easy for me to think about MotoGP, and not what happened.

"It was a mistake, an error. Unfortunately it is something that can happen."

Pecco Bagnaia was defended from a question about his Ibiza drink-drive incident by Jack Miller, who called a reporter's question "negativity".

Here's everything Alex said about how his relationship with Marc will evolve.

Can Jorge Martin be a world champion in MotoGP, Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali believes so. 

"I think Jorge [Martin] will be champion one day," Domenicali told Marca. "He has splendid talent. In certain conditions, he is incredible, explosive. He has a very strong ability to concentrate.

"At the moment, he has shown to be stronger over one lap, in the fight for pole position, than in the race.

"In the race he does well, but not as well as in qualifying… yet. In some races he has; he has already won.

"This year, the wrist has bothered him, so it is difficult to judge him, but it is certain that in the coming years he will be one of the riders who will be very strong." 

"I hope to have news soon. I want to have news."

"I’m sure Dorna would like to have a GP back on the African continent. I hope so!"
