P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ahead of the Aragon MotoGP, Marco Bezzecchi has said the timing of his win at Silverstone was “amazing”.
Marco Bezzecchi considered his victory at the British MotoGP particularly special due to his previous absence from the podium and Aprilia’s struggles at the start of the season.
Before his win at Silverstone, Bezzecchi hadn’t stood on a MotoGP podium since the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix, while Aprilia had not finished in the top-five since Ai Ogura’s fifth-place finish in Thailand at the beginning of 2025.
The timing of his victory in Silverstone brought him extra satisfaction, as he discussed in a pre-event press conference at Aragon, mentioning the tough times he had overcome.
Bezzecchi expressed confidence that his success at Silverstone was not a one-time occurrence, having felt competitive in Spain and France prior to the race.
While Aragon presents a different challenge than Silverstone, Bezzecchi emphasized the team’s goal of achieving high competitiveness in every race and mentioned their plans for post-race testing to further improve Aprilia’s performance.
