The British Grand Prix at Silverstone will be a key watershed for Celestino Vietti Ramus and his rainbow ambitions: with 146 points, the 20-year-old is first in the Moto2 World Championship tied with Augusto Fernandez, who, however, is on a roll and is fresh off two consecutive wins.

Vietti Ramus, on the other hand, who is coming off a Sachsenring retirement and a fourth-place finish at Assen, must necessarily pick up the pace.
