Rookie Aldeguer Takes First MotoGP Win After Bezzecchi–Marquez Crash in Indonesia

A first‑lap clash involving Marco Bezzecchi, Marc Marquez cleared the way for the 20‑year‑old Gresini rider to claim a breakthrough victory.

Overview

  • Gresini’s Fermin Aldeguer pulled clear after the opening‑lap incident to finish over six seconds ahead of KTM’s Pedro Acosta, with Alex Marquez third.
  • Polesitter Marco Bezzecchi collided with Marc Marquez on lap one and both retired after sliding into the gravel.
  • Bezzecchi still leaves Mandalika with a new lap record of 1:28.832 and a sprint victory secured by a last‑lap pass on Aldeguer.
  • Ducati sealed the teams’ championship thanks in part to Marquez’s sprint points despite a difficult weekend for several factory riders.
  • Two‑time champion Francesco Bagnaia started 16th, struggled for pace, and crashed out, as injuries kept Jorge Martin and Ai Ogura out and Maverick Viñales withdrew on Sunday.
