Bezzecchi Triumphs in Indonesia; Marc Marquez and Ducati Struggle. The MotoGP World Championship Standings

Aprilia dominates as Marco Bezzecchi wins the MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix: The Noale-based team places four riders in the top four at Mandalika and triumphs with the rider from Rimini. After Saturday’s bitter Sprint race, which ended at the first corner, Bezzecchi prevailed at the end of a thrilling duel with his teammate Raul Fernandez, whom he overtook with nine laps to go and pulled away from in the final laps thanks to a blistering pace.

The Spanish rider, who raced with a broken finger following Saturday’s crash, finished on the podium in second place ahead of Jorge Martin, who regained the World Championship lead. Fourth place went to the other Aprilia ridden by Ai Ogura, while Pedro Acosta finished fifth on his KTM.

As for Ducati: After Saturday’s victory, Marc Marquez played it safe and couldn’t manage better than sixth place following a fierce battle with Ogura and Acosta. The Catalan rider lost the World Championship lead but was still the best of the Ducati riders, who struggled greatly: Alex Marquez finished seventh, Fabio Di Giannantonio eighth, while Pecco Bagnaia was forced to retire after a crash in the early laps.
