Bezzecchi Wins in Indonesia as Martin Retakes MotoGP Championship Lead
Marquez moved to 343 points after an eighth sprint win, while Jorge Martin fell to fourth following tyre-pressure trouble and a late mistake, officials said.
- On Sunday, Marco Bezzecchi won the Indonesian Grand Prix at Mandalika, overtaking pole-sitter Raul Fernandez on lap 19 of 27 to secure Aprilia's historic 1-2-3-4 finish by 4.26 seconds.
- Competing with a fractured index finger sustained during Saturday's sprint crash with Bezzecchi, Fernandez led for 18 of 27 laps before his pace began to fade in the sweltering heat.
- Jorge Martin finished third to reclaim the world championship lead with 355 points, moving two points ahead of Marc Marquez, who managed only sixth place with 353 points.
- The victory marked Italy's 300th MotoGP win and ended Bezzecchi's four-month winless streak since May, keeping his championship hopes alive with five rounds remaining.
- Marquez faces a critical defensive position as the series heads to Australia in a fortnight, with only two points separating him from Martin in an increasingly tight championship fight.
