Aprilia Dominates Goiânia as Marco Bezzecchi Secures Fourth Straight MotoGP Victory

Bezzecchi leads every lap in Brazil to headline a historic one-two finish for Aprilia Racing, with Jorge Martín returning to the podium as the Italian manufacturer takes early control of the 2026 MotoGP season.

Aprilia Racing has delivered a statement weekend in Brazil, with Marco Bezzecchi storming to a commanding victory at Goiânia and leading home a historic one-two finish for the Italian factory.

Starting from the front row, Bezzecchi wasted no time asserting control, grabbing the lead into Turn 1 and never looking back. From there, it was a flawless lights-to-flag performance — his fourth consecutive MotoGP win and the first time in his career he’s strung together such a dominant run.

The victory adds to an already red-hot streak that includes Portimão, Valencia and Buriram, and marks Bezzecchi’s fifth premier-class win with Aprilia. In doing so, he joins an elite group of riders in the modern era to win four Grands Prix in a row — a list that includes some of the sport’s biggest names — while also ending an 11-year drought for riders leading every lap across four straight races.

Behind him, Jorge Martín completed the dream result for Aprilia Racing, bringing it home in second to secure his first Sunday podium with the team and his first grand prix rostrum in 490 days. The Spaniard’s return to form signals a rapid adaptation to the RS-GP package and adds serious weight to Aprilia’s early title credentials.

The result is a milestone moment for the Noale-based manufacturer. It’s their tenth MotoGP win, fourth on the bounce, and their second one-two finish in the premier class. The tally now stands at 304 wins across all classes in Grand Prix racing — a figure that underlines the brand’s growing influence at the top level.

It wasn’t just the factory squad flying the Aprilia flag either. Trackhouse MotoGP Team backed up the effort with a strong showing, placing Ai Ogura fifth and Raúl Fernández tenth, meaning four Aprilias finished inside the top ten — a clear sign the package is working across the board.

After just two rounds, Aprilia Racing leads both the manufacturers’ and teams’ championships, and for the first time in its history, holds the top two spots in the riders’ standings.

Bezzecchi admitted the result exceeded expectations after a tricky start to the weekend.

“It was a fantastic race and a great day,” he said. “Given how Friday went, I didn’t think a win was possible. But we worked hard and the feeling came together. I want to dedicate this one to Roberto Lunadei and his family.”

Martín, meanwhile, pointed to the work behind the scenes and the growing synergy within the team.

“There’s been a lot of effort to get here,” he said. “What surprises me most is how quickly I’m adapting to the bike. Marco’s level right now is incredible, and we’re working closely together to keep pushing this project forward.”

Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola was quick to praise both riders and the broader team effort, while also keeping expectations grounded heading into the next phase of the season.

“Marco and his team turned things around brilliantly after a difficult Friday,” Rivola said. “It was a perfect Sunday, and it’s emotional to see Jorge back on the podium after so long. Having multiple bikes at the front, including Trackhouse performing strongly, is a very positive sign.

“But we know the next races — Austin and Jerez — will give us a clearer picture of where we really stand.”

For now, though, Aprilia Racing leaves Brazil as the benchmark — and the rest of the grid has been put on notice.
