Marco Bezzecchi, rider for the Aprilia Racing team, has stated that he will not give up in his race for the MotoGP title, despite having lost ground to Marc Márquez during the Malaysian Grand Prix. Bezzecchi had started the 2026 season with a great record of wins, but he is now 67 points behind Márquez, who leads the championship strongly.
After winning three consecutive races, the competition has become tougher for the Italian rider. In Malaysia, Márquez achieved his seventh victory of the season, thereby extending his lead. Bezzecchi and his teammate, Jorge Martín, who is also injured, are preparing to face the Qatar Grand Prix, where Márquez could secure the title if he achieves a good result.
Despite the adversity, Bezzecchi has made it clear that he will continue fighting. ‘It’s very difficult, but until the numbers are against me, I will keep believing and working hard,’ he stated. He has acknowledged that the injuries suffered during the season have affected his performance and that he is working to regain his explosiveness on track.
Since the end of the summer holidays, Bezzecchi has only secured one victory and has experienced some inconsistency in the races. In Malaysia, he finished third in the sprint race, but fell to sixth place in the full race. He has highlighted that injuries have complicated his adaptation at the starts of each competition weekend.
The upcoming races are decisive for Bezzecchi, who must fight not only against Márquez but also to surpass Martín if he wants to maintain his title chances. The determination of the Italian rider and his will to push forward are aspects that will keep fans intrigued until the season’s end.
