The balance of power in MotoGP has officially shifted. In a historic afternoon at the Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia, Marco Bezzecchi and Aprilia Racing stamped their authority on the world championship, securing a dominant 1-2 finish and a record-breaking fourth consecutive Grand Prix victory.
The “Noale Factory” is no longer the underdog—they are the benchmark. Bezzecchi’s masterclass, paired with a resurgent Jorge Martin, has catapulted Aprilia to the top of the Riders’, Constructors’, and Team standings as the paddock leaves South America in a state of shock.
After a uncharacteristic wobble in Saturday’s Sprint, Marco Bezzecchi left nothing to chance on Sunday. The Italian launched off the line like a guided missile to snatch the holeshot, immediately putting clean air between his RS-GP and the chasing pack led by pole-sitter Fabio Di Giannantonio.
While “Bez” checked out at the front, the drama ignited behind him: Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM) was the “Rocket Man” of the start, slicing from P9 to P5 in a single lap, and Marc Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio locked horns early, reprising their bitter Sprint rivalry.
The turning point for the podium came on Lap 6. Fabio Di Giannantonio sent a daring “block-pass” up the inside of Marc Marquez. The move forced both riders wide, opening a barn-door-sized gap for Jorge Martin.
The “Martinator” didn’t need a second invitation. He expertly picked their pockets, sweeping into second place to consolidate an Aprilia 1-2 that they would never relinquish.
The closing stages saw a high-stakes rematch between Marc Marquez and Di Giannantonio. With five laps to go, Marquez executed a “brutal but clean” dive at Turn 6 to snatch P3.
However, the Pertamina Enduro VR46 rider wasn’t finished. When Marquez ran deep into Turn 11 on the penultimate lap, Di Giannantonio stood his bike up and powered through the open door. This time, the eight-time World Champion had no answer.
| Pos | Rider | Team | Time |
| 1 | Marco Bezzecchi | Aprilia Racing | 30:19.760 |
| 2 | Jorge Martin | Aprilia Racing | +3.231 |
| 3 | F. Di Giannantonio | VR46 Racing | +3.780 |
| 4 | Marc Marquez | Ducati Lenovo | +4.089 |
| 5 | Ai Ogura | Trackhouse Racing | +8.403 |
The title fight took a massive hit as defending champion Francesco Bagnaia suffered a disastrous low-side crash, leaving Brazil with zero points. Joan Mir also joined him in the gravel trap on a miserable day for the factory Honda camp.
For the first time in MotoGP history, a factory has won four consecutive GPs with a rider not named Rossi, Marquez, or Stoner. Aprilia’s RS-GP is currently the most balanced bike on the grid—fast in the corners, stable on the brakes, and clearly easier on the tires than the Ducati GP26.
