Trackhouse MotoGP rider Raul Fernandez secured his first-ever premier-class victory at the Australian Grand Prix in Phillip Island after Marco Bezzecchi served his penalty, marking a historic win for both himself and the Trackhouse team.
Fernandez, a newcomer to the top three in grand prix races, seized the opportunity with the Aprilia RS-GP performing exceptionally well at Phillip Island, capitalizing on Bezzecchi’s penalty to lead comfortably.
April rider Bezzecchi initially took the lead, but penalties dropped him behind Fernandez, Pedro Acosta, and Alex Marquez, eventually finishing third.
Fernandez maintained a strong lead over the competition, extending his advantage over Acosta and Marquez.
Despite strong performances from other riders like Di Giannantonio and Acosta, Fernandez’s dominance was unchallenged, securing a memorable victory at Phillip Island.
The race also saw notable performances and setbacks, including crashes by Miller and Mir, while Quartararo struggled with race pace, and Rins excelled to claim the top Yamaha spot in seventh place.
