MotoGP News: Bezzecchi leads Aprilia 1-2 in Brazil
Marco Bezzecchi (pictured) took the lead at the start and led the Brazil GP MotoGP race the rest of the way to win by 3.2s over Aprilia teammate Jorge Martin at the Autodromo Internacional Ayrton Senna.
Bezzecchi made history for Aprilia with a fourth MotoGP victory in a row during a shortened 2026 Brazilian Grand Prix at Goiania. The Brazilian race distance was slashed from 31 laps to 23 laps just minutes before the start due to unspecified “track degradation”.
Polesitter Franco Di Giannantonio came in third, 3.78s behind Bezzecchi. He was beaten to victory by Marc Marquez in the Sprint, squeezed inside the reigning champion for second on lap 6.
Marc Marquez, who won the Sprint race on Saturday, could only manage 4th place in the feature race, 4.1s behind Bezzecchi.
Ai Ogura rounded out the top-5, 8.4s behind Bezzecchi.
