Marco Bezzecchi continued his unstoppable run in MotoGP, clinching a fourth consecutive Grand Prix victory in a historic afternoon for Aprilia Racing. In a dominant display of speed and strategy, Bezzecchi led his teammate Jorge Martin across the finish line, marking the first time in Aprilia’s history that the team has secured a 1-2 finish.
The race in Brazil was a masterclass in recovery. After struggling during sessions, Bezzecchi timed his start perfectly to take the “holeshot” into the first corner. While Fabio Di Giannantonio initially held onto second from pole position, the mid-pack was a whirlwind of action. Rising star Pedro Acosta charged from ninth to fifth, while veterans Marc Marquez and Jorge Martin battled fiercely for podium spots.
By the sixth lap, the race took a decisive turn. Martin surged ahead into second place, tucking in behind Bezzecchi to protect the team’s lead. Meanwhile, a dramatic duel unfolded for the final trophy spot. Di Giannantonio managed to edge out Marc Marquez in a nail-biting finish to claim his first podium of the 2026 season. Marquez ultimately settled for fourth, followed by Ai Ogura and Alex Marquez.
The weekend was not without drama, as title contenders Francesco Bagnaia and Joan Mir both crashed out of the race. This victory catapults Bezzecchi to the top of the championship standings and puts Aprilia in the lead of the constructors’ table for the first time. The team now carries this massive momentum into next weekend’s Grand Prix in the United States.
