MotoGP race result as Marco Bezzecchi wins Indonesian GP and Marc Marquez loses championship lead

MotoGP race result as Marco Bezzecchi wins Indonesian GP and Marc Marquez loses championship lead

Marco Bezzecchi has returned to the top step of the podium for the first time since Mugello as he wins the Indonesian Grand Prix.

Bezzecchi won from Raul Fernandez after their collision in the Sprint race. Jorge Martin was P3 and retakes the lead of the championship from Marc Marquez, who could only manage P6.

Aprilia dominated the Indonesian Grand Prix, with Ai Ogura securing a 1-2-3-4 for the Noale outfit in a crucial result.

Unlike the race on Saturday, Fernandez avoided contact at the first corner and maintained his lead. Bezzecchi slotted into second, while Marquez held third ahead of Martin.

The front two started to pull away, while Marquez slowly began to fade away from the fight. Martin claimed P3 from his rival after an ambitious lunge on lap 3, and the Ducati rider soon became vulnerable to the riders behind.

Pedro Acosta soon passed Marquez, dropping him to P5. Meanwhile, Bezzecchi was edging closer to Fernandez, setting the fastest laps of the race.

On lap 13, Acosta had to manage his tyre pressure and allowed Marquez to slip past in fourth. The KTM rider got back past, but he continued to struggle with tyre pressure, letting the Ducati rider back through on lap 17.

At the front, Bezzecchi was biding his time to snatch the lead from Fernandez, and he eventually made his move into turn one on lap 19. The Aprilia rider pulled a gap with the overtake as the Trackhouse rider ran wide.

Marquez was clearly uncomfortable on his Ducati in the closing stages, losing positions to Acosta and Ai Ogura. It quickly became damage limitation for the 33-year-old as Acosta and Ogura pulled away in the battle for P4.

Bezzecchi was unrivalled after taking the lead and grabbed his first win since the Italian GP, giving him some hope about the 2026 title. Teammate Martin regains the lead of the championship with P3, with Fernandez splitting the factory Aprilias.
