Marco Bezzecchi has achieved a spectacular victory at the United States Grand Prix, establishing himself as one of the great references in the competition. His win at COTA placed him on an elite list of riders who have won five consecutive races in the premier class, a milestone only reached by legends like Marc Márquez and Valentino Rossi.
Since his victory at the Grand Prix of Portugal last season, Bezzecchi has maintained an impressive streak that includes the last three races of this year. With this new win, the Aprilia rider has accumulated a total of nine victories in the category, but what truly adds value is the manner in which he achieved them: all from start to finish.
After the race, Bezzecchi shared his excitement about his recent achievement: “I don’t know how to describe my emotions. It’s strange to hear my name next to legends like Vale and Marc. I feel fortunate to race alongside some of them and it’s a pressure I try to handle with dignity”.
In addition to his triumph, Bezzecchi set another record by leading a total of 120 consecutive laps, surpassing the previous mark set by Jorge Lorenzo. This legacy, which seemed unattainable after having to move back on the starting grid due to a penalty, did not affect his performance on the track. His ability to tackle the challenge from the very beginning was key to his success.
However, Bezzecchi is still far from the absolute records, such as the one held by Giacomo Agostini, who maintains the best mark of 20 consecutive victories in the 500cc category. With three races won so far this season, he is the first rider since Márquez in 2014 to achieve this feat.
Bezzecchi’s next challenge will be at the Spanish circuit, where he will try to continue his impressive series of results.
