Overview
- In qualifying on Saturday Marco Bezzecchi set a new Mugello lap record (1:43.921) to take pole and Aprilia filled the entire first row for the first time in the marque’s MotoGP history.
- Trackhouse-Aprilia’s Raúl Fernández won the Saturday sprint with Jorge Martín second while Bezzecchi finished fourth in the short race, showing differing sprint and race form.
- Bezzecchi converted pole into victory in Sunday’s 23-lap Grand Prix with Jorge Martín second and Francesco Bagnaia third, a result that extends Bezzecchi’s championship lead to 12 points over Martín.
- Marc Márquez returned from recent surgery to score points in both the sprint (P5) and the Grand Prix (P7), confirming his competitive comeback after a double operation.
- Across the support classes Manuel Gonzalez won Moto2 and Brian Uriarte won Moto3, and Aprilia’s sudden weekend pace raises questions about whether the team can sustain that form and how rivals, notably Ducati, will respond at the next rounds.
