BURIRAM, Thailand — Marco Bezzecchi and Aprilia Racing are hat-trick heroes in MotoGP for the first time after the Italian dominates a dramatic PT Grand Prix of Thailand to back up his 2025 Portugal and Valencia victories with a Buriram beauty at the beginning of 2026.
Tissot Sprint winner Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) finished second to make sure he leaves Thailand as the MotoGP World Championship leader, as Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse MotoGP Team) begins the year with a third in a Grand Prix which saw reigning World Champion Marc Marquez suffer a race-ending puncture while in the podium fight.
And that means Ducati’s unbelievable record-breaking podium streak of 88 in a row is over – for the first time since the 2021 British GP, no Ducati rider stood on the Sunday rostrum.
Jorge Martin finished fourth on a second Aprilia Racing bike, while Ai Ogura claimed fifth for the Trackhouse MotoGP Team.
