Jakarta, ThedailyID — Aprilia riders dominated the 2026 Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, securing the top two positions while Marc Marquez failed to challenge for victory.
Marco Bezzecchi delivered a strong performance in front of home fans to claim victory at the Italian GP. The Italian rider led an Aprilia one-two finish after controlling the race pace from the front.
His teammate, Jorge Martin, crossed the line in second place to complete a memorable result for the Aprilia factory team.
The result marked one of Aprilia’s strongest performances of the season. The team successfully capitalized on its pace at Mugello, a circuit known for favoring riders with strong cornering speed and acceleration.
Meanwhile, Marc Marquez endured a difficult outing and struggled to match the pace of the leading group. The six-time MotoGP world champion failed to mount a serious challenge for the podium throughout the race.
Marquez entered the weekend as one of the riders to watch. However, he could not find the speed needed to compete with the dominant Aprilia machines.
Several battles unfolded throughout the field as riders fought for crucial championship points. However, the spotlight remained on Aprilia’s commanding display and Bezzecchi’s victory in front of the Italian crowd.
The result boosts Aprilia’s momentum in the championship race as the season heads into its next round. At the same time, Marquez and his team face fresh questions about their ability to consistently challenge for wins this year.
