PORTIMAO, Portugal — It was perfection from start to finish from Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) en route to winning Sunday’s Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Portugal.
Bezzecchi led all 25 laps of the Portimao circuit for a victory that saw him move comfortably clear in the race for third overall in the Championship. He’ll need just a few points to secure it next week in Valencia.
Behind the Italian on the track, Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) resisted a late surge in pace from Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) with the podium being reshuffled from Saturday’s Sprint.
Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) held on to clinch fourth place ahead of Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), who took his third top six of the season ahead of Fabio Quartararo, who claimed his best Portuguese GP finish since 2022.
