Marco Bezzecchi Wins MotoGP Brazil 2026, Aprilia Dominates

Marco Bezzecchi wins MotoGP Brazil 2026, extending Aprilia’s dominance while Marc Marquez fails to reach the podium after a last-lap error.

Goiania, Brazil – Rider Marco Bezzecchi from Aprilia Racing continued his stellar start to the 2026 season by winning the MotoGP Brazil 2026 at Ayrton Senna Circuit early Monday morning WIB.

Bezzecchi crossed the finish line first with a time of 30 minutes 19.760 seconds, extending his momentum after claiming victory at the season opener in Thailand last week. This win solidifies his position as a strong championship contender this season.

Finishing in second place was Jorge Martin from Prima Pramac Racing, 3.231 seconds behind Bezzecchi. The final podium spot went to Fabio Di Giannantonio from Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team, finishing 3.780 seconds back.

Defending champion Marc Marquez had to settle for fourth place after a mistake on the final lap while battling Di Giannantonio for the podium.

From the start, Bezzecchi immediately pulled ahead from pole position, followed by Di Giannantonio and Marquez, while Martin started in fourth. Pedro Acosta made a remarkable move from ninth to fifth place.

By lap two, Marquez had moved up to second, and Acosta overtook Martin. However, Bezzecchi steadily extended his lead at the front.

On lap six, Di Giannantonio attempted an aggressive move on Marquez, causing both riders to run wide, which allowed Martin to move into second place behind Bezzecchi.

The mid-pack battle was also intense, with Alex Marquez briefly climbing to fifth before coming under pressure from Ai Ogura.

At the front, Bezzecchi maintained control. Martin tried to close the gap but could not seriously challenge for the lead.

Drama unfolded in the fight for third place. Marquez briefly took the position but was overtaken again by Di Giannantonio after a late corner error.

The race was also marked by multiple incidents. Jack Miller was forced to retire after a crash in the first corner, followed by Brad Binder, Joan Mir, and Francesco Bagnaia who also fell during the race.

This result puts Bezzecchi at the top of the riders’ championship, while Aprilia leads the constructors’ standings—a near-perfect start to the season.
