Aprilia Racing closed out the weekend on the Assen TT Circuit with another historic result.

After starting from pole position, Jorge Martín rode a solid race to take third, finishing up a positive weekend, enhanced by his first pole position with Aprilia Racing. This is the Spanish rider’s 2nd top-class podium in Assen, his 37th MotoGP podium, and his 5th of the season. Thanks to today’s result, Martín is the new leader in the overall MotoGP standings with 193 points – a milestone he had not achieved since the 2024 Solidarity GP, 588 days ago.

Marco Bezzecchi, on the other hand, crashed out on turn 15 during the second lap. The Italian rider was immediately taken to the circuit’s Medical Centre, where he underwent a thorough evaluation by the medical staff, including the MotoGP Medical Director, Dr. Ángel Charte. Initial clinical examinations confirmed that the rider was fully conscious and displayed normal mobility in all four limbs, with no immediate signs of major neurological or systemic complications. However, due to severe pain resulting from the high-energy impact, the medical team has elected to transfer Bezzecchi to Groningen Hospital. The Italian rider underwent CT scans and radiological examinations with no injuries found, so he is fit to be discharged and will return to Italy this evening.

Honourable mention goes to the SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team riders who, after the sprint race one-two, repeated the result in the long race, with Ai Ogura winning his first MotoGP race ahead of Raúl Fernández. This is a one-two which, along with Martín’s third place, gives Aprilia the second podium lockout in their MotoGP history after the 2026 Le Mans race.

With Ogura’s win, Aprilia also takes their first MotoGP win in Assen (their best result previously on this track was Marco Bezzecchi’s second-place finish in 2025) and gives them a total of 308 FIM Motorcycle World Championship victories.
