Marco Bezzecchi, starting from the fourth spot on the grid due to a penalty from Q2. After contact during the first lap, which damaged the rear wing of his RS-GP26, the Italian rider moved into the lead at the end of the first lap, maintaining the position all the way to the chequered flag. Completing the one-two was Jorge Martín, who rode a solid race to finish second.
The manufacturer from Noale has now also taken their third one-two in the top class and, for the first time in their history, two one-two finishes in a row. With today’s victory, Aprilia Racing now has 305 wins in World Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing.
Team boss Massimo Rivola praised the riders and bikes. Bezzecchi called it a dream result on a favorite track, while Martín was thrilled despite physical struggles late in the race.
