MotoGP Indonesian GP: Bezzecchi Leads Aprilia 1-2-3-4; Martin Reclaims Points Lead From Marquez

Bezzecchi passed Fernandez on lap 19 and won by 4.260 seconds, while Martin’s third place moved him back atop the standings by two points.

  • On Sunday, October 11, 2026, Aprilia rider Marco Bezzecchi won the Indonesian Grand Prix at Mandalika, overtaking pole-sitter Raul Fernandez on lap 19 to lead a historic 1-2-3-4 manufacturer sweep.
  • Polesitter Fernandez competed with a fractured index finger sustained during Saturday's sprint crash, when he tangled with Bezzecchi at Turn 1, yet led the race despite visible struggles with his right hand.
  • Jorge Martin finished third to reclaim the world championship lead with 355 points, edging Marc Marquez by two points after the reigning champion managed only sixth place.
  • Bezzecchi's victory ended a four-month winless streak dating to May's Italian Grand Prix, prompting the rider to say, "It's amazing, I'm very, very happy," as his title hopes gain momentum.
  • With five rounds remaining, the championship battle heads to the Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island in a fortnight, where Martin holds a slender two-point lead over Marquez in a critical defensive position.
