The GP of France has left much to cut with maximum competitiveness between two riders from the Aprilia Racing Team. Jorge Martín achieved victory after a spectacular comeback, leaving Marco Bezzecchi in second place, despite the latter leading for a significant part of the race.
The Italian rider Bezzecchi, who started in first position, dominated the early laps. However, with only ten laps remaining, Martín made an upward race, moving from seventh to second place. In the final laps, Martín managed to set several fast times, allowing him to overtake Bezzecchi at corner 3, with two laps to go.
This victory marks a turning point for Martín, who gains his first triumph as an Aprilia rider after a complicated 2025 season. For Bezzecchi, this race represents his first loss against his teammate in a Sunday race this season. The top two positions in the race represent a notable success for Aprilia, which achieved a complete podium in Le Mans.
Despite the loss, Bezzecchi did not show frustration. He acknowledged that he did not feel comfortable with his motorcycle throughout the weekend. “I tried to manage the best I could, knowing that it wasn’t the best I could do,” he said. With this result, Martín closes in on Bezzecchi in the championship, with only one point separating them now.
Both riders have demonstrated their ability to withstand pressure on such a demanding circuit as that of France, which promises exciting future battles in the upcoming championship races.
