Overview
- Bezzecchi controlled Sunday’s Grand Prix of the Americas from the opening laps to beat Aprilia teammate Jorge Martin, with KTM’s Pedro Acosta third.
- The victory is Bezzecchi’s third straight full‑distance win this season, which moves him back to the top of the standings ahead of Martin.
- Stewards reshaped the weekend after Saturday’s Sprint by handing Acosta an eight‑second penalty for low tyre pressure and ordering Marc Marquez to serve a long‑lap in the race.
- Marquez recovered to fifth after taking the penalty, while pole‑sitter Fabio Di Giannantonio rebounded from his Sprint crash to finish fourth in the Grand Prix.
- Martin won the Sprint after choosing a medium rear tyre and later fell during a post‑race wheelie without injury, and Bagnaia slipped to tenth in the main race as Aprilia’s pace set the benchmark heading into the late‑April round in Spain.
