Bezzecchi Wins Indonesian GP as Martin Retakes MotoGP Lead

Marco Bezzecchi secured victory at the Indonesian Grand Prix at Mandalika International Circuit on Sunday, while Jorge Martin finished third to reclaim the MotoGP world championship lead from Marc Marquez. The Aprilia Racing rider's win moved him closer to the championship leaders, while Martin established a two-point advantage over Marquez with five race weekends remaining, according to reports from Crash.net and Yahoo Sports.

Martin leads the standings with 355 points, followed by Marquez on 353. Bezzecchi occupies third place with 309 points, leaving him 46 points behind his Aprilia teammate at the conclusion of the Indonesian round.

Bezzecchi's victory was his first since Mugello and marked the 300th Grand Prix victory for Italian riders. Aprilia also achieved a historic sweep of the top four finishing positions, according to Crash.net's race report.

Spain's Raul Fernandez finished second despite competing with an injured finger. Ai Ogura, riding for Trackhouse Aprilia, completed the top four, giving Aprilia-powered machines all four leading positions.

Fernandez started from his first MotoGP pole position and initially held off Bezzecchi despite the pressure. The Spaniard had fractured an index finger during Saturday's sprint and had to use his middle finger to operate the brake, Yahoo Sports reported.

The injury came after Fernandez and Bezzecchi collided and crashed out of Saturday's sprint. Marquez won that shorter race, taking the championship lead from Martin for the first time before Sunday's grand prix reversed their positions.

Fernandez made a clean start from pole, with Bezzecchi alongside him on the grid. After the opening third of the 27-lap race, Fernandez continued to resist Bezzecchi's challenge, while Martin held third and Marquez ran fifth.

Bezzecchi eventually overtook Fernandez on lap 19 and opened a gap at the front. Fernandez maintained second place under pressure, while Martin secured the final podium position and regained the championship lead.

Martin's rise to the top of the standings followed an early-race pass on sprint winner Marquez. However, the Spaniard could not match the pace of Bezzecchi and Fernandez at the front, according to Crash.net.

Marquez, the reigning seven-time world champion riding for Ducati Lenovo, finished sixth. His result left him two points behind Martin, setting up a close championship contest across the remaining five race weekends.

Behind the leading trio, Ogura holds fourth in the championship with 259 points, just one point ahead of Pedro Acosta, who has 258. Fabio di Giannantonio sits sixth with 245, followed by Fernandez on 236.

Alex Marquez ranks eighth with 172 points, ahead of Francesco Bagnaia on 166 and Fermin Aldeguer on 125. Enea Bastianini has 122, Luca Marini 108 and Brad Binder 104.

Fabio Quartararo and Diogo Moreira are tied on 74 points in 14th and 15th, respectively. Franco Morbidelli follows on 59, Johann Zarco on 51, Joan Mir on 33, Jack Miller on 28 and Alex Rins on 25.

Toprak Razgatlioglu has 18 points, followed by Maverick Viñales on 12, Iker Lecuona on nine, Augusto Fernandez on six, Pol Espargaro on five, and Somkiat Chantra and Takaaki Nakagami on three each.
