Sunday to forget for Aprilia Racing at Mandalika

Starting from pole position, Marco Bezzecchi saw his hopes of completing a perfect weekend evaporate on the very first lap. After a less-than-ideal start that dropped him a few places, he made contact with Marc Márquez while attempting to recover, causing both riders to crash. Following the fall, Bezzecchi was taken to the medical centre for checks and was later airlifted to Mataram hospital; after the medical examinations, no fractures have been found for Marco.

Raúl Fernández’s performance for the Trackhouse MotoGP Team was another highlight, as he followed up Saturday’s sprint podium by again showing his confidence on the RS-GP25, finishing sixth – just two seconds off the podium.
