Bezzecchi wins Indonesian GP, Martin retakes championship lead

Marco Bezzecchi won the Indonesian Grand Prix at Mandalika on Sunday, leading an Aprilia sweep of the top four positions and securing his first victory in over four months. The Italian rider passed Trackhouse teammate Raul Fernandez on lap 19 of 27 and pulled away to win by 4.2 seconds.

Jorge Martin recovered from a poor start that dropped him to sixth to finish third, reclaiming the championship lead with a two-point margin over Marc Marquez. The reigning champion, who won Saturday's sprint race, could only manage sixth place on the factory Ducati.

“It was a very hard race from the start. When I saw Martin was leading I pushed. I made some mistakes but felt better and better.”

Fernandez held on for second despite racing with a broken finger sustained in a first-lap collision with Bezzecchi during Saturday's sprint. The incident triggered a heated exchange between the Aprilia riders before Sunday's race.

Martin passed Marquez with ease on lap three after the Ducati rider appeared to struggle with tyre degradation following his sprint victory. The Spaniard then settled into third as the leading Aprilia duo pulled clear at the front.

The championship battle remains tightly contested with five rounds remaining. Martin and Marquez are separated by just two points, effectively resetting the title fight heading into the next round.
